Over the past year A LOT of people have been asking for advice. Mainly because drastically changing your diet requires work. I have compiled a list of hidden ingredients and things to refrain from. There are hundreds of other items to avoid. Therefore do not use this list solely as your guide.
Hidden
Malt/malt extract - Be careful with brown dyed foods because they usually contain malt which is a form of gluten. Also malts as in an ice cream shake. These also contain gluten.
Instead try: regular shakes, but always check ice creams as well as with the waiter to refrain from gluten
Soy sauce- General soy sauce at restaurants as well as in dressings, marinades, and sauces can contain soy sauce which is made with wheat.
Instead try: Gluten free soy sauce is extremely easy to find in the international sections of grocery stores. Also look for Braggs liquid amino's this product is a healthier version of a soy sauce which happens to be gluten free.
Tortillas- Mexican food provides a vast selection of gluten free safe options. Gluten is used for many tortillas
Instead try- Corn tortillas. All mexican restaurants give the option, just ask!
Rye- Rye bread is gluten
Instead try- Schar brand breads, many local farmers markets sell gluten free bread and desserts, and local bread smiths tend to have gluten free days
