Did you see my question about labels and wheat? If I wanted to avoid all wheat, are there other names that it might be listed as on the label of ingredients.

Hmmm - as far as I recall wheat this only thing you have to look for on the label.

If a label says "flour" or "white flour", you can also bet it's wheat flour. You should also watch for "spelt" and "kamut", which are varieties of wheat. Some people find these easier to digest than regular wheat (esp. kamut), but some can't tolerate any of them.

kamut, triticale, spelt, and anything that as wheat in the name including wheat grass because it could still contain the seeds. In the US wheat must be labeled on the ingredients. I sent you a longer post but don't see it anymore? Hope this helps

I believe in the US that wheat containing ingredients have to be specifically identified because it is one of eight allergens that the Food Allergen Labeling And Consumer Protection Act of 2004 requires food processors to identify on the label. The eight identified major food allergens are milk, eggs, fish (e.g., bass, flounder, cod), Crustacean shellfish (e.g., crab, lobster, shrimp), tree nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans), peanuts, wheat and soybeans. "Wheat" includes any species in the genus Triticum. Therefore, the term "wheat" must be used to identify common wheat, durum wheat, club wheat, spelt, semolina, einkorn, emmer, kamut and triticale. In addition to the eight allergens the Canadian Food Inspection Agency also includes sesame seeds and sulphites.
Perhaps some else on the board has more information.
