Are Kellogs cornflakes gluten free?

I am gluten sensitive (a mild coeliac) and I'd assumed that Kellogs Cornflakes (and all other cornflakes too) contained gluten. But recently a coeliac friend of a friend of mine said that he can eat them, so they must be gluten free. Can anyone confirm this, or is my friend's friend an even milder coeliac that I am? Tom.

All Kelloggs products are on the Aust. Coeliac Soc.'s list of no-nos. R

I was told that Bottle Lucozade was made in a factory where they used vegetable oil to clean down machinery and they couldn't guarantee it nut free.

I have been in touch with Kelloggs UK. Hordein from the malt is present in a very very minute quantity. It's so little that the Coeliac Society list Kelloggs Cornflakes and Rice Krispies as being suitable for a Gluten free diet. You would have to be very very allergic to react to them. Temprance
