Things I forgot - Wheat-Free

  • I read a lot of labels.  Did you know that soy sauce and licorice are made with wheat as the main ingredient?  And that chicken boullion has wheat in it?   I've found a good non-wheat soy sauce (Tamari Sauce), use chicken stock in the can, but have had no luck with a licorice substitute.
  • I cheat once in a while - even when I'm not traveling or pregnant.  I guess that would be when I'm desperate :)
  • Grocery stores seem to have jumped on the "gluten-free" band-wagon and have started to put tags on gluten-free products, or have an aisle(s) separate just for that type of food.  It always makes me laugh when I see a "gluten-free" label on products such as yogurt or other such foods that clearly wouldn't have gluten, but I guess some people just don't know . . . or maybe I'd be surprised by what they're putting gluten into.
