That's why celiac's can't have anything made from any of those grains. Not just flour.. or flour and water..
Gluten is the common name for the proteins in specific grains that are harmful to persons with celiac disease. These proteins are found in ALL forms of wheat (including durum, semolina, spelt, kamut, einkorn and faro) and related grains rye, barley and triticale and MUST be eliminated. [ 1] |
There is very little natural gluten in grain.
Note that even just having flour and water mixed together and sitting in a bowl eventually forms gluten.
