First of all, JWB isn't gluten-free - it contains barley, which contains also gluten ;) it is however wheat, and 'wheat-gluten' free ;)
As far as getting the runs is concerned, it may simply be that the type of ' scrapes' you've been giving them just don't suit them ;) In order to assess whether it's the wheat and/or gluten, you'd have to give the details of what you're giving them :)
For reference purposes, only wheat, barley and rye contain gluten, oats contain a substance similar to gluten (in its effect on the gut). But they are pretty common in various pre-prepared human foods and are added to some of the most unlikely foods too, which is a nightmare for those of us who must avoid them :(
Hope this helps.
