<<I just realized that I forgot to include my question about pappadums. Duh!
Here goes: Patak's Pappadums (plain) ingredients:lentil flour, salt,
vegetable oil (groundnut and/or soya), and sodium bicarbonate.  The last
ingredient is the one that sorta bothers me...since sodium bicarbonate could
have trace amounts of offending grains.  Has any one tried this brand
without any problems?  And what is the secret to getting them to totally
fluff up in the microwave?  Thanks again, this list is amazing :)  Thanks to
all of you who respond so quickly.

I have eaten and Pappadums with no problem and they were even sold at one of
our support group meetings by a gf supplier called Celia Cooks that sold a
variety of gf items. The are delicious to snack on and come either in a can
of mini ones or a box of larger disk like ones that you can oil slightly on
both sides and put in the microwave until they poof up- or I think the
traditional way is to hold them over the flame on the stove. Either way, they
make a nice alternative to the taco shell.
They have them in the Indian section of the grocery store or I have also seen
them in health food stores.
