And, not sure if this link will be live forever either, but it's 10 surprising gluten-containing foods, which I'll summarize below in case the link goes away:

1. licorice -- usually has wheat! Potentially jelly beans too. Perhaps TMI on a public blog, but even as a kid I remember saying licorice gave me gas. Hmmmmm.
2. Flavored chips.... being gluten free means you ALWAYS read labels. I like nacho cheese doritos as a treat, but last I read the label, they had wheat!
3. Worcestershire sauce-- not all. I *think* Lea & Perrins is OK (and as yet another caveat, nothing I say here is intended to serve as medical or dietary advice!) but you must read labels. Some of these brands may use malt vinegar.
4. seasoning mixes. Again, read labels. Many may have wheat (I found some in chili powder once!)
5. Sushi- some imitation crab may have gluten, and while we're at it, soy sauce wasn't on this list, but it often contains wheat! La Choy has been OK, and San J has a yummy line of gluten free Asian sauces, and I recently discovered coconut aminos. Taste just like soy, but just a coconut product!
6. salad dressings- read labels, and watch for cross contamination issues. Bleu cheese in its purest form is started from wheat, but most commercial stuff, I've read, is started chemically. Again, NOT advice... do your homework.
7. Sausages and meatballs- often use wheat as a binder
8. Miso-- may be made from barley
9. deli meat-- Boars Head brand is gluten free, but the issue of a shared slicer has arisen... best to go to the deli counter at a very slow time so your request for it to be cleaned can be accommodated
10. meds-- always look into what the fillers are!
More soon!
