<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> 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 http://www.celiac.com/forbiden.html 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.
