Most people know about the typical foods that contain gluten like breads, pastas, and cookies, but there are actually a lot of foods out there to be careful of if you're gluten intolerant!
Since gluten comes from wheat, wheat derivatives, barley, rye, triticale, brewers yeast, and malt (more coming soon on all of these but WebMD gives an extensive list here) it means there are loads of foods out there that might actually contain gluten you would never think of.
Here are some of our top products to watch out for:
- Licorice Candy (Twizzlers!)
- Milky Way
- Soy Sauce
- Teriyaki Sauce
- Beer
- Rice Krispies
- Salad Dressings
- Malted Milkshakes
- Meatballs
- Fried Foods
- Canned Soups
- Canned Chili
- Mixed Drinks
- Teas
Basically, be sure to always read the label if the product doesn't state gluten-free or you're ever not sure! Comment below any other products you've come across that you were surprised actually contained gluten!
