In 2008, we found out that the Wellshire Farms "gluten free" dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets that my son had been eating ever since he went gluten free (for 2 1/2 years) contained gluten - at levels high enough to make two children with gluten/wheat allergies have life-threatening reactions. We were enraged at the company and sad that our son's first two and a half years on the gluten free diet may have been compromised.

Many people know that gluten is a protein in Wheat, Rye and Barley. But are all gluten proteins the same? No!

Gliadin is a glycoprotein present in wheat

Secalin is a glycoprotein in Rye that is similar to Gliadin.

Hordeins is a glycoprotein in Barley that is similar to Gliadin.

All of the above will trigger an autoimmune response in people with Celiac Disease.
