hidden gluten (was Wheat or gluten-free stuffing?)

[Guest guest]

hi pt,

 

when i worked in health food stores, i had several

customers who had celiac disease (gluten intolerance).

luckily, i kept a bunch of my notes from that period.

 

modified food starch is one to watch out for. here

are other terms to look for because the product might

contain gluten: maltodextrin, malt, dextrin, starch,

hydrolyzed vegetable protein (hvp), natural flavoring,

fillers, soy sauce, food starch, wheat starch,

vegetable starch, vegetable gum, flour, wheat, durum,

semolina, tritcale, bulgur, spelt, wheat germ, wheat

bran, rye, textured vegetable protein (tvp),

hydrolyzed plant protein (hpp), oats, barley, grain

vinegars, binders, and excipients.

 

gluten can also be in gum, cooking sprays, tomato

pastes and sauces, soy sauce, drink mixes, salad

dressings, seasoning mixes, stocks, bouillon cubes,

gravy mixes, flavored coffees and teas, some cheeses

(blue), and vitamins. i would say that any food that

is processed could have gluten in it, unless it

specifically says " gluten-free " .

 

that's probably not a complete list. but it gives you

an idea. lately, i've been seeing more and more

gluten-free products at grocery stores (esp. ones with

a natural foods section).
