G'day there... I reckon when mrsD and me posted that we weren't actually sure what Melody's friend had absolute intolerance to and so we tried to advise despite that. I don't have a clue whether Melody's friend is gluten intolerant or has issues with anything else.

We both asked the questions. Gluten free? Rice ok?

Melody, let us know sometime when you are able about your friend's situation more please. I'd hate to give advice that would not be helpful to her.
