Can you give me a site I can go to so that I can check items without bothering you?

Try this:

However there are so many ingredients in things there's really no comprehensive list. 

If you are in the US they have to label things with gluten in them  as "conains: wheat",. However if it is not labeled gluten-free it may still have gluten in it even if it's not labeled saying "contains wheat". This is because cross contamination may be possible. Generally speaking if you read the label and there's no mention of wheat,barley, rye, or malt.

I'm not saying you can't eat things that aren't certified gluten-free or labeled gluten-free but if you do be aware that the food may not be labeled gluten-free because of cross contamination. Many foods not labeled gluten free (but don't have gluten containing ingredients) are safe but some do have cross contamination so you have to be careful if they're not labeled gluten free.

Yeah, that looks like as good a list as you'll get.

      By CJF · Posted

      I was recently browsing a local grocery store's for gluten free flour and they had a King Arthur bread flour that was made with wheat!!!! Can anyone on this site tell me more about this??  Is it really gluten-free? Safe for Celiac sufferers??? I'd love to make bread again that actually tastes like real bread.

      Thank you both for your kind assistance. I really appreciate the effort strangers go to helping others seeking advice. I will endeavour to have the recommended tests done and will update this post.  Thank you again for being so helpful!

      Typical Diagnosis Route

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For the celiac disease blood tests it needs to be 6-8 weeks eating lots of gluten daily, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy. Keep in mind that a diagnosis can also bring higher life insurance and private health insurance costs, so an official diagnosis can have some negative sides too. Another example is that many jobs now ask if you have a "disability" and celiac disease is included on their list of disabilities. Just some things to weigh out before proceeding.😉

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Everyone with celiac disease needs to make their own lifestyle choices--in my case I continue to eat out at restaurants and travel--while some people with celiac disease try to avoid doing either. Of course the safest way to go would be to do neither--but I cannot not accept such lifestyle changes. Since I've made my choice I try to make my dining out as safe as possible, and from what I've learned AN-PEP enzymes may mitigate low amounts of contamination. This isn't a perfect solution, but there are many people out there like me who make even worse choices (our last poll showed that over 20% of celiacs regularly cheat on their diets!).

      He said it helped him which is why I was curious if you took it. I agree not for the challenge.
