Additional Things to Beware of to Maintain a 100% Gluten-Free Diet

Thank you so much for this! I have to use laxatives fairly regularly and never thought they might not be Gluten-Free. I also had no idea about toothpaste/mouthwash. Thanks.

Excellent, all that you say, I've been on a gluten free diet since 2004 and all the things you say in the beginning made me sick constantly, until I realized and read in this site the horrible truth, I hope our family and friends understand these alerts too.

Thanks for the info. Pay attention to Licorice. Every brand of licorice commonly found in the store lists wheat flour as a main ingredient. I never thought to check it because it wasn't a starchy crispy snack.

This is really good--it was not long ago that I was told that I had to go on the gluten free diet. I get so sick when I eat food and this is a great web site that has helped me choose better foods to eat.

West Soy and Rice Dream both have a very small amount of gluten from barley. The FDA laws allow the gluten free label for small amounts of gluten. This is bad for those who can not tolerate small amounts of gluten.

I would like to add that some drywall may have gluten in it. I kept getting sick at work because the building is being renovated. I kept saying that it has to be the dust from the drywall as it was everywhere. No one believed me but I just read it on another site that there is gluten in drywall.

I always wondered why I'd still feel bad after having Rice Dream (never tried the Westsoy brand). Thanks for continuing good updates and help!

I HAVE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT MY ALLERGIES, SYMPTOMS AND DISEASES.

I would only drink the potato vodka as others definitely don't work for me.

I love herbs and spices of all kinds. I don't want to give them all up because some may have wheat in them. How do I know which ground spices have wheat? None list it on the label.

As a Ceoliac patient I am always very careful. Imagine my surprise when a visit to the dentist for a Crown left me unwell, no toothpaste had been used. Thanks to the practice manager who contacted all the suppliers of the products that had been used we found the culprit. So be very aware and make sure your dental practiced checks first.

ugh! I love mayonnaise.... drat!
