dickmilde, and a doctor could not guide the patient with diet, OMG. My first heartburn was at about age 30 and I made spaghetti with white pasta, Ragu, and added hamburger chunks, plus lots of parmesan cheese. A gal I worked with told me to switch to whole wheat pasta and I did not get heartburn again from my spaghetti. LOL, so I proved your gluten point, I can guess white flour is much worse than whole wheat in gluten. At any rate, diet change was all I needed.
