  1. Hmmm...glutinous rice? How is that be gluten-free? I know some rice does have gluten, but if it's supposed to be a gluten-free diet, how does that work?

    1. Glutinuos rice doesn't have gluten. It has two types of starch which makes it sticky.

    2. Jeez, you scared me. My medication filler is sweet rice flour so I thought I'd been eating gluten. I can't have rice anyway because it's a cross-reactor to gluten, but I thought it was the lesser of evils. I had heard even some rices have gluten so I thought I was screwing up. If I just stick to my diet instead of trying to sneak in desserts I'd be fine, but I'd rather cheat.
