Re: OT gluten free Question

[Guest guest]

If he is serious about going gluten free we usually only think in terms of

breads etc but please tell him to watch out for the hidden gluten. Yeast can

also be a problem, so maybe he should consider that as well.

If you are gluten intolerant, it is important to verify specific foods to ensure

that they do not contain hidden gluten. Here is a list you may want to

copy/paste to show him (not scare him...lol) that gluten can pretty much be

lurking in most of our foods :: I know I watch out for about 1/2 of them because

I certainly react to those but don't need to worry about others (of course I am

not celiac, just intolerant).. it's all a case of trial & error really unless

you need to give up gluten entirely.
