<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hello- I have been wondering the same thing. There is so much confusion about what is actually gluten-free and what is not. Some lists say avoid even rice and corn. Some say no guar gum - some say it is fine. Some even go so far as to say no potatoes or yams. No sugar and you see many of the mixes that say gluten-free are then loaded with sugar! Why sugar?? Can't they use honey or fruit juice? And what is wrong with organic maple syrup. HELP!!!!!!!!
