Fallulah

I was baking bread for Thanksgiving, and the recipe called for 1 cup potato starch. I only had about 2/3 cup, and wasn't going to stop and run to the store, so I filled out the cup with arrowroot starch. The bread turned out fine, I couldn't tell a difference from the last time I had made it. I'd say, go for it.

Natural flavourings.. i have been keeping away from candy and chocolate etc that have this in it, i got told that natural flavourings have wheat in it, is this true?

And i am glad to that Snickers is safe to eat too... my favourite candy by far:P

I've learned the hard way to avoid ANYTHING that lists a generic ingredient like 'natural flavors' or 'spices', unless the packaging also specifically states it is a gluten-free item.

And at least here in the states, even if there is not an ingredient that raises a red flag, some candies are processed on equipment or packaged off conveyer belts that are coated with wheat flour to keep things from sticking.

I tend to shop the health food store for my chocolate, and only buy "regular" candies that specifically list themselves as gluten free. Yippey for Skittles and Hot Tamales!
