Isn't necessarily, but when we were cutting things out to see if being wheat free was helpful, we cut out ALL potential sources of wheat. Your mileage may vary. :)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17003115405121246765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457291173403737247.post-77800329093729525942013-05-27T22:24:19.457-07:002013-05-27T22:24:19.457-07:00Jennifer - really?

I will say that I seriously suspect I am gluten intolerant. My cravings are already gone which surprises me - and makes me very happy! I definitely have been dealing with many symptoms related to gluten sensitivity - diabetes, chronic stomach pain, bloating, cravings, aching joints, and in the last year or so even migraines. I just got a cookbook called Gluten Free on a Shoestring, and I'm pretty sure she has cinnamon muffins! :) I can send you the recipe if you'd like. She also has a blog -Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499411155376437791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457291173403737247.post-55369395377290734762013-03-27T09:20:58.129-07:002013-03-27T09:20:58.129-07:00The term "natural flavors" is also often...The term "natural flavors" is also often a cover for MSG, which we always want to avoid, too. <br /><br />But I was thinking about your post and had to come back and comment again about the spelt. I remember from the years when we thought Princess Bossy was allergic to wheat that spelt is a variant or close relative of wheat. Some people with wheat sensitivity can use it successfully, but some can't. So your reactions to spelt may have been the gluten, but may have also just been to the spelt being too close to wheat.<br /><br />The quinoa pasta wasn't good? I'm not huge on pasta, but there are times when spaghetti or lasagna just hits the spot. :)RHome410https://www.blogger.com/profile/06622522477498428322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457291173403737247.post-53593555849593812352013-03-27T08:59:30.552-07:002013-03-27T08:59:30.552-07:00Most soy sauce sold here is fermented wheat, not f...Most soy sauce sold here is fermented wheat, not fermented soy. To get real soy sauce, you have to go to the health food part of Fred Meyer. They sell tamari sauce, which is only soy, no wheat. You can also get it on Amazon and at most health food/specialty food stores. I haven't looked at Uwajimaya or other Asian food stores.<br /><br />The other thing is that ANYTHING that has 'natural flavoring' or 'caramel coloring' or 'caramel flavoring' or 'modified food starch' on the label HAS to be suspected to contain wheat. That leaves virtually nothing from the prepared foods at the store. Not a huge issue, since we moved away from most prepared foods (including soups and cream soups)many years ago. But still...<br /><br />I hear you on the pizza. The other thing that is missed here is pasta. We've not found a gf option we really like yet. Oh well.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17003115405121246765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457291173403737247.post-75809640376567573292013-03-27T08:48:36.155-07:002013-03-27T08:48:36.155-07:00You're all doing amazingly.

I knew wheat was in soy, but never thought about ketchup! We rarely buy salad dressings, but I didn't think of wheat in those, either. <br /><br />The hardest things for me, I think, would be pizza, which we have weekly, and sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls. We have each of those things rarely, but they're pretty impossible to pass up at those times! But coconut macaroons dipped in chocolate sound pretty good!RHome410https://www.blogger.com/profile/06622522477498428322noreply@blogger.com
