5 Unexpected Foods That Contain Gluten

 

It sometimes feels like there’s Gluten in everything and that can be very overwhelming. How many times have you accidentally eaten gluten? It can happen a lot it, especially if you’re new to a Gluten Free Diet. It even seems to happen when you’ve been Gluten Free for years. You can’t just assume things are Gluten Free. It’s in so many things you’d never expect. I’ve accidentally glutened myself so many times and it’s always awful. So I thought I’d share my list of 5 Unexpected foods that may contain Gluten, in the hopes that it help other people avoid getting sick.

Here’s my List of 5 Unexpected Foods That Contain Gluten:

1. Restaurant Scrambled Eggs and Omelettes

When eating out you might think that eggs are the one safe thing to order. Well this isn’t always the case. Some Restaurants use Pancake Batter to Fluff up their Eggs. Make sure to ask your server or order over easy.

 

2. Imitation Crab

If you’re new to a gluten free diet then you may be surprised to find out that they use Wheat Flour, when they making Imitation Crab. Some Sushi Restaurants use imitation, so make sure you ask before ordering the California Roll.

 

3. Canned Soups

Make sure to check the labels before buying any Canned Soups. Most of them have some sort of wheat noodle or wheat flour thickener. There are some choices that are gluten free but never just assume it will be.

 

4. Flavored Potato Chips

There are many flavours of potato chips that are gluten free but never assume that they’re all safe. There are some flavours out there that contain gluten.

5. Chocolate and Candy

5 Unexpected Foods That Contain Gluten

Never assume that Candy or Chocolate is Gluten Free just because there aren’t Cookies or Wafers added. There are several kinds of Candy and Chocolate Bars that contain Gluten, that you wouldn’t expect to. Licorice, Smarties and Milky Way all contain gluten. It’s always best to read the label.

 

 Have you came across any products that contained gluten, that you didn’t think did? Let us know in the comment section. it could help keep someone from getting accidentally glutened.

    Surprisingly (or perhaps not) gluten is found in most condiments! Take soy sauce, ketchup, mustard, tomato paste, BBQ sauce etc. Have had to turn to an app called GlutenCheck (it’s free) to decipher which ingredients are safe for me to eat.

    Thanks for following my curiositycafe.wordpress.com blog! I have two blogs, and I’m almost to the place where I can have a separate gravitar for curiositycafe. Really glad to find your blog, because my son, age 42, just found out he’s gluten sensitive about a year ago. You have great info in your blog, thanks!

    Soy sauce and salad dressing are two that get me. But, I’ve learned to love tamari sauce.

    Be careful of pickles! Most contain Malt vinegar (gives the pickles the crunch). And is only listed as “vinegar” on labels! Just about anything pickled such as peppers, veggies etc. With CD wheat is only 1 of major issues…also Barley & Malt! Hope this helps!

    My newest gluten find was when I was told that most restaurants pour a marinade over steak while grilling. It appears it always has gluten!
