10 Hidden Sources Of gluten Day 1 Of 2
If you have Celiac disease, or gluten sensitivity, you are advised to completely avoid gluten.
Any ingestion causes damage to the small intestine. You will be shocked by these hidden gluten sources.
1. Make up products may contain gluten. Gluten is not absorbed through skin, however watch for the lip glosses and lip products. Many lip products or balms contain gluten and can easily be swallowed.
2. Hing spice, which is a popular indian spice. It is used in many indian dishes. Always ask if this is being used in the food before eating any indian dishes.
3. Oats- yes they are oats, gluten free, however when grown next to wheat there is cross contaimination. When buying oats or oat products look for the gluten free label.
4. Ice Cream- This one shocked even myself. Many times wheat is added as a thickener. You must read the label and ingredients before eating any ice cream. The natural ice creams are your best bet.
5. Salad dressings- Anyone on a gluten free diet is advised to eat more fruit and vegetables. You just need to think twice before drizzling on your favorite dressing. Many are thickened with either malt vinegar or flour and contain gluten.
