Gluten Ingredients

[MGoers37]

Alright, for about every single packaged food i've been eating i read the ingredients now, only problem is anything that doesn't specifically say "wheat" i usually consider as gluten free which is probably very very wrong. I think monosodium glutamate is a bad ingredient but that's all i really know of...

can someone give an ingredients list of ingredients to stay away from on a gluten free diet? Just gluten free though, not casein free....im not going to start casein free unless i really really have to...

I know the basics, stay away from wheat, barley, oats, rye...but that's about it...

Do not eat wheat, barley, rye, oats, gluten, and be wary of (modified) food startch because it could possibly be wheat unless you know the product is gluten-free or says that it's gluten-free.

Welcome to the board. One of the board members, Nini, has a newbie help site. I'll try to find her info for you. Perhaps in meanwhile one of our other members will post it.

In the meanwhile labels are better than there were before, but they don't have to label oat, barley or rye on it - - only wheat.

ingredients that are "iffy" is modified food starch, textured vegetable protein, food starch. They can be corn or wheat. Then there's malt, malt syrup, barley malt. I am sure others can post more for you to look out for.

Although it looks "bad," MSG, under labeling laws in America, are safe. If they were not, they would have "wheat" listed next to it.
