Not always is zanthan gum used in gluten-free baking. It is however desirable because it is a nice thickening agent which helps "bind" the baked product. If not able to use this ingredient, you can substitute it with tapioca flour or potato flour, or even both.
I checked with a baking soda vendor and they explained that all baking soda is naturally gluten free. It is baking powder (which uses baking soda) that may contain gluten. You need to check with the manufacturer.
If you need to eat things that are gluten-free then you can buy and eat certain products under gluten-free categories. Most vegan restaurants are gluten-free.
All oats are gluten free. If a recipe calls or allows for oats then it is perfectly fine. More thoughts: If you seriously need to avoid gluten, read the labeling on the product carefully. Some oats will be processed in a facility that also handles gluten-containing grains and there could be cross-contamination. If the label states that it is 'gluten free', then it is likely that the firm takes steps to ensure no cross-contamination. If you are asking about using oats as a direct replacement for gluten-containing grain in baking, you might be disappointed with the results. Many gluten-free baked goods recipes also use some type of gum (like xanthan or guar) to give a more familiar final product.
You would need to but a cookie mix then if you want it to turn out. :D
yes they are. you need to be careful about what you put on it
Read the label. Gluten is found in wheat, rye and barley. If those are not on the label, then it is gluten free. People who need to steer clear of gluten have ciliac disease. That is a problem in your case?
no its not all gluten free u need to make sure with your deli person or meat dept and ask
No, it isn't a gluten so it can work for you if you need gluten free food.
Not all brands of baking powder are gluten-free. Baking powder is made from baking soda, cream of tartar (a bi-product of wine production) and a "moisture absorption agent" which is usually, but not always cornstarch. Other starches including potato starch (gluten-free) and wheat starch (contains gluten) can be used in baking powder products.

Yes, but in beneficial ways. My mom went on a gluten-free diet, and she bloats a lot less, and she's lost weight. If you plan on going on a gluten free diet, you need to stick to it. After a while of eating gluten-free, suddenly eating products that contain gluten will make you bloat again, will cause gas and may cause nausea.
Most soy products, such as tofu, edamame, and tempeh, are naturally gluten-free. However, some processed soy products, like soy sauce, may contain gluten if made with wheat. It's essential to check labels for any gluten-containing ingredients or certifications for gluten-free products. Always opt for tamari or gluten-free soy sauce if you need to avoid gluten entirely.
