My wife is on a strict gluten-free diet. It is a pain.
The most frequent trip up are foods with modified food starch in them. A lot of yogurt & puddings have this, some ice creams & sour cream. Some soy sauce has wheat. Most baked potato chips, like Pringles, have wheat. Licorice has wheat. Most pre-packaged flavored rice dinners have wheat. Many salad dressings & mayonnaises have food starch. Several granola cereals have wheat, but not all of them. Nearly all meatloaf & meatballs will have wheat.
It is okay to eat modified corn starch.
My wife gets severe heartburn from eating gluten. She had it for 15 years, as doctors treated her for other causes. Then she started experimenting with removing things from her diet to see if that would help. She went off wheat for a few days and bamm ... about a 90% drop in heartburn.
