Here is the state of what I have now regarding gluten traps. If you have
other suggestions please feel free to send them to me and I will gradually
try to organize them somehow. Such a list could be helpful, especially to
the newly diagnosed if used in addition to Scott Adam's list of Safe and
Forbidden Foods at the following website. I printed off his list of
forbidden stuff (URL below) and carried it in my wallet for a couple of
years when I first started this till I knew most of them: -vance

Glue on postage stamps that you have to lick? Anything of that type can
contain gluten....

Toothpaste
Medicines and over the counter medications and supplements
Brown Rice syrup (often has a barley origin)
Barbeque sauce
Tomato paste, tomato puree (in a list of ingredients they don't mention if
they were GF)
Some baking powder
Spelt is primitive wheat
Icing sugar
Malt - malt flavoring, malt extract, malt syrup,malted milk
Soy sauce
Chocolate and candies since many places dust them with gluten substances so
they don't stick. Hershey products are GF though
French fries, if they are dipped in hot fat where breaded or battered food
is cooked
Glazed carrots or other things
Coffee and decaf, especially most instant versions. Folgers is safe for both.

MEXICAN RESTAURANTS:
Watch for salsa. If the salsa is in a thin transparent liquid, I don't have
any problems. But if the liquid is thicker and opaque, it hits me hard: I
think maybe they've used canned tomato paste or puree, and it's not likely
to be GF. Enchilada sauces and other gravy like sauces often have wheat
thickener.

FOR EATING IN CHINESE RESTAURANTS:
Here are varying opinions from different people on Chinese restaurants:
When I eat in Chinese restaurants I always tell them to use only broiled
chicken, no broth or flour. When I explain to them why I can not eat
anything containing flour, etc. have never had a problem.
When i go chinese, i ask for my food cooked in water only with fresh ginger
and garlic.
Soy sauce in the restaurants almost always has wheat
Don't eat the fortune cookies, and the noodles goes without saying.
Despite being fairly fluent in Mandarin (and therefore able to communicate
particularly well with wait staff), I won't eat in Chinese restaurants.
It's been my experience that the Chinese put soy sauce everywhere and that
most of their dishes are inedible without it.
