Gluten isn't just in bread.  Even 1/8th of a fingernail amount of gluten can cause an immune response that lasts for weeks.  Here are some sneaky gluten sources to be aware of:  Common “Hidden” Gluten List: 1. Soy sauce and teriyaki sauce are often made with Wheat!  Swap for Coconut aminos. 2. Cereals -  Some popular brands are made with malt from barley. Swap to a grainless granola or grainless cereal like Seven Sunday, NuCo Coconut Flakes, or Autumn's Gold Grainless granola 3. Soups are often thickened with “roux” – Roux is a mixture of fat, usually butter, and flour. 4. Salad dressings – May contain malt vinegar, soy sauce, or flour. Could also contain modified food starch that’s used to emulsify, thicken, or as an anti-caking agent. In the U.S., modified food starch is usually made from corn; if made from wheat, this must be specified on the label as “modified wheat starch” or “modified food starch (wheat.)” 5. Marinades and barbecue sauces – May contain malt vinegar, soy sauce, or flour. 6. Taco seasonings – Certain brands contain wheat. 7. Some Vinegars – Fermented vinegars made from gluten-containing grains need to be avoided. Malt vinegar is fermented and made from barley. Chinese black vinegar could be made using wheat in addition to rice. 8. Sausage – Could contain rusk, a twice-baked, gluten-containing bread that is used as a cereal filler in some types of sausage like British “banger” sausages. Some specialty or plant-based (meat-free) sausages could contain wheat gluten. 9. Some Beef jerky – Certain flavors of beef jerky – such as teriyaki – contain soy sauce. I love epic bars, Chomps Sticks, Nose To Tail Brands! 10.  Vegan Meat substitutes often use wheat gluten.  EAT REAL MEAT  11. Restaurant Eggs/Omelets- Make sure to ask-  sometimes they put pancake batter in the eggs.  Our 21 Day Reset starts October 10th!  Are you looking to feel your best and feel confident in your food choices?
