Foods To Question

Many people wouldn't think of these foods as perhaps having gluten in them, but many versions of them do. This is just a "tickler" list to get you thinking about the fact that, pretty much, you need to check every food that comes with a label on it.

• barbecue sauce (what is it made from?)
• bouillon (what is it made from?)
• burrito (is it a dangerous wheat tortilla or safe, pure corn?)
• butter-scotch (what is it made from?)
• candy (what is it made from)
• catsup (what is it made from?)
• cereal (what grain?)
• cheese (annatto color; starting molds may be introduced on bread crumbs)
• chewing gum (flour as ingredient or may be dusted with it)
• chocolate (pure is okay, otherwise, what is it made from?)
• cottage cheese (may contain food starches)
• farina (usually made from wheat)
• french fries (contamination from cooking oil; vinegar helps it retain to color)
• frozen yogurt (ingredients?)
• granola (what grains does it include?)
• ice cream (often has thickeners which are made from toxic grains)
• ice milk (same as ice cream)
• licorice candy (usually has wheat)
• mayonnaise (look for suspicious ingredients)
• nonalcoholic beer (may still have malt or other sources of gluten)
• sherbet (thickeners and flavorings may be made from toxic grains)
• soup (most soups have flour in them, or noodles, or other suspect ingredients)
• sour cream (may contain food starches)
• soy sauce (wheat used in most brands)
• tamari (most okay, check ingredients)
• tortillas (wheat?)
• tostada (wheat?)
• yogurt (thickeners and flavorings may be suspect

• dips and sauces (contaminated from chips and/or crackers)
• licking stamps (glue can be wheat-derived)
• sharing a toaster (crumbs from wheat-bread get pressed onto gluten-free bread)
• spreads like butter, jam, peanut butter (crumbs get carried back into the spread with each dip)
• vitamins (particularly: what are the fillers? also the source)
• medicines (remember that "starch" in drugs is not necessarily corn)
• mouth wash (ingredients?)
