And my LIP GLOSS!! Victoria Secret lip gloss ...Oh! And my LIP GLOSS!! Victoria Secret lip gloss has gluten in it. He would have a mild skin reaction every time I kissed him with it on. Almost unbelievable. According to the info you cited, GMO explains why more and more people are becoming allergic to wheat. I wonder how many people are out there wondering why they have dandruff, red, itchy skin, digestive problems, migraines etc. without taking into consideration their diet.<br /><br />Anyway, between my BF's gluten allergy and my dairy allergy, we have to get creative with meals :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13022333482809570805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970153806441842849.post-57564687109837903422012-12-10T14:15:47.393-05:002012-12-10T14:15:47.393-05:00Thanks for the input Kasondra - I feel very fortun...Thanks for the input Kasondra - I feel very fortunate to not have an actual intolerance or allergy to wheat or gluten because it was quite difficult to avoid even in terms of a 95% general sense of avoidance. Food labeling certainly has a long way to go!

It's frequently used as a preservative, anti-caking agent, or thickener but won't necessarily be listed on a list of ingredients as such. Things we were surprised to discover contained gluten: roe (eggs on sushi), soy sauce, many canned foods (beans, tomatoes, etc.), some raw meat and lunch meats, hash browns, certain cooking spices (especially mixes), some prepackaged nuts, some shredded cheeses... the list goes on. We've learned through trial and error that if it doesn't say explicitly "gluten free" it can't be trusted. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13022333482809570805noreply@blogger.com
