   Having done this myself, I can easily relate the following...  Nobody
seems to know what 'Gluten' is, nor can they find it any of their standard
'health source' catalogs.  However, it is often listed under something like
"Whole Wheat Gluten, Pure Wheat Gluten Extract, or Natural Wheat Gluten"
The Key words seems to be WHEAT Gluten in combination with a Whole, Pure,
&/or Natural.  I stumbled across it in a old fashioned (industrial/resturant)
supply, for about $ .70 /lb.
  I supose that gluten from other types of grain is possible, but that the
wheat kernel is high (highest) in high quality gluten suitable for breads.
