Product Labelling

OK...so now for a really dopey question! I have decided to give this whole gluten-free thing a whirl. I realize that simple fresh fruit and veggies, and meat is the way to go initially. However, I picked up a tub of yoghurt today and had no idea what I was reading. How do you get a grip of the labelling system? How can you know 100% what you are eating? What do the product codes mean? I live in Australia and we do have detailed labels on all products, but I have little knowledge of food codes. Is there a web site that addresses these questions? Thanks to everyone who has been so helpful already. It's great to be able to visit this site, and feel so welcome. I really appreciate it.

I'm not sure how labeling differs in Australia, but I think you'd do well to begin with the safe & unsafe list on this site (see the site index) & Nini's Newbie Kit from her website:

I can't open any of the files, I don't have the word program. Can anyone copy and paste the text here?

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
