What food surprised you the most that it contained gluten?
When I started my gluten free diet three years ago, my doctor advised me to look at the label of every product and to avoid anything with gluten or traces. I was very disappointed to learn that:
Soy sauce
Lentils (cross contamination)
Curry powder
Most chocolates
All contained either gluten or trace amounts. I have found good, albeit expensive, gluten free options of them. But I recently learned that many mustard brands also have traces of gluten. I had never checked mustard because the possibility of it having gluten had not crossed my mind. Why don’t we share our experiences with finding gluten or traces in unsuspected foods?
