Since in any process involving large volumes of grains, some
fragmentation will occur  - leading to some wheat *particles*  and
*dust*  being mixed with the corn, and since THIS is NOT "easy to remove
due to the large difference in  size,  I do not believe that your
reasoning is sound.

IHMO, if the wheat was ever mixed with the corn you WILL get SOME gluten
in the corn.

I have often reacted to corn containing products.  Next summer I will
grow my own corn (as well as a number of other things) and see if I
react to THAT!   At least I will know what I am reacting to, if I do!
