Here is a summary of the comments I have received on the email I sent on 
Barley and Rye.  Thanks for your input!!

I am going to do some further inquiries among food scientists at our 
local universities.  Surely someone has done research on 1001 ways to 
use barley!   I will post something more definitive when I have it.

CORRECTION:  Corn syrup DOES NOT contain barley.  Corn syrup can 
sometimes be found in barley malt, not visa versa.  My mistake.  Thanks 
to those who expressed disbelief that corn syrup would contain barley 
and made me double check this.

Several persons said that not ALL rice syrups,  rice honey, or miso 
contain barley.  Check the label.

Several said thank you.

Several asked for citations.  If you asked for citations and did not 
receive an email from me, email me again.  (If you received several 
emails, I apologize.)  I was having problems sending the files, 
particularly the pdf file on rye and could not tell if an email was sent 
or not.

One said that Barley can be hidden in herbal teas and the fermentation 
process in Japan for soy sauces and wheat free tamaris.

One pointed out that barley in cereals, stews, soups, risottos, soy 
milk, etc. is usually not hidden but indicated on the label.

Additional information on barley that I thought was useful  from 
www.gfcfdiet.com/unacceptable.htm:
(1) Caramel Color ... may or may not contain gluten depending  on how it 
is manufactured. In the U.S.A. caramel color must conform with the FDA 
 standard of identity from 21CFR CH.1. This statute says: "the color 
additive caramel is the dark-brown liquid or solid material resulting 
from the carefully controlled heat treatment of the following food-grade 
carbohydrates: Dextrose (corn sugar), Invert sugar, Lactose (milk 
sugar), Malt syrup (usually from barley malt), Molasses  (from cane), 
Starch Hydrolysates and fractions thereof (can include wheat), Sucrose 
(cane or beet)." Also, acids, alkalis and salts are listed as additives 
which may be employed to assist the caramelization  process.

(2) Rice Dream beverage production process utilizes barley enzymes.

(3) Rice Malt (contains barley or Koji)
