Here are a few more foods that may contain gluten, you will be surprised.
6. Fudgesicles- Yes another favorite summertime treat. Some contain gluten in the form of malt extract.
7. Gazpacho- This is a tomato based vegetable soup. It usually is made with soaked bread that is pureed in the soup. You always need to ask before eating.
8. Hot dogs- Who doesn't love a hot dog on the grill. Yes we know the bun is off limits, however the hot dog can contain wheat as well, used as a binder.
9. Ice cream- This is the one that shocked me most. I was surprised to see wheat listed on a small cup of vanilla and chocolate ice cream. It is used as a thickener in certain brands. I can't stress enough, read labels.
10. Licorice- This yummy candy, my favorite as a child and adult. Wheat flour is used to bind all the ingredients to give it, the stretchy characteristic.
11. Marinades, or pre- seasoned protein foods- Any marinated fish, meat or chicken are vulnerable to gluten contamination. If you can look it up, read a label to make sure.
12. Multivitamins- Yes meant to make you healthy, can contain gluten. Wheat is used as a filler in some vitamins. Best is to look for ones that say gluten free, or from a gluten free store.
