I am curious...

 

How many times (at what products) have you found Gluten contained within "Natural Flavors" or "Spices"?

 

Since I was diagnosed about 4 months ago I have looked into 20 or so "questionable" products to ensure that they did not contain gluten within these ingredients.  I have not come up with a single instance where I found gluten.  I have looked into things like hot sauces, mustards, canned tomatos, ect.  

 

Obviously if you are going to make something a staple of your diet you will want to verify it explicitly.  However if you are a guest in someone's house and want some mustard on your hamburger... or they used a can of Hunts tomatoes instead of Del Monte in a dish, I want to know my odds.

 

Doing this is calculated risk,  but so is ordering a "GF item" in a restaurant.

 

 

Thanks for sharing!
