Label Reading

[Guest zoomom]

I am realizing I need to become a label reading nerd now as I try to learn what I can and cannot eat. However, those lable ingrediants can sound like greek to me at times. I was wondering if someone could help me build a list of no no ingrediants to watch for on food labels?

I am currently avoiding gluten and diary.

I am getting into the habit of reading labels now too. There is some really weird stuff in our food! Usually if the ingredients list is really long than it has something in it that will bother me.

I've never posted before, so hope I do this right. You could go to Open Original Shared Link

There is a list and it tells you what ingredients to watch for on labels. They aren't all obvious. Judy

As I recently found out when my son did an elimination diet, dairy is hidden in many, many foods. The list of ingredients to watch for is long. Check out this page for a printable list to take with you to the grocery store:
