Day 2 Of 3 Days Foods You Did'nt Know Contain Gluten

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.
