Gluten

There is no gluten in any hard liquors.

It depends on the ingredients you use to make them.

Yes. Wheat is not an ingredient in cheese.

In the 1950's, farmers in England discovered that if they harvested their wheat crop before maturity, products made from the resulting flour had a better (different) taste, foods such as bread would rise quicker and fuller, and baked goods had much improve texture. This phenomenon was investigated and determined to result from the higher gluten content of un-mature wheat. As gluten is present in young wheat plants as food for the wheat plant, mature wheat ends up with very little, if any, remaining gluten.

The result of this knowledge was a fundamental change in the growing and harvesting of wheat. Higher gluten content wheat, or flour, became rather preferred for flour and flour based products due several factors: larger crop yield (not larger wheat plants but more flour from a given wheat plant as gluten is now present); flour density and volume increase; changed (thought of as improved) taste characteristics; improved body and texture of flour based foods.

Over the ensuing decades the food manufacturing industry has embraced gluten as a supplemental ingredient to more and more foods, due to the increased volume, taste, body, and texture of those foods. Food manufacturers want you to believe that they use gluten to improve the protein content of their foods, but don't be fooled. Although this may very well be a factor, the principal reason for the proliferation of gluten in so many foods outside of typical baked goods, is purely cost. More volume translates to lower ingredients cost which leads to higher profits.

It is currently thought that the growing and nearly epidemic coincidence of gluten intolerance among humans consuming high gluten content diets is a result of excessive exposure to gluten, as it blindly appears in so many processed food products. Examples one might never suspect as containing gluten are ice cream, so called "natural" flavorings in everything from carbonated beverages to sports drinks to vitamin water and other processed foods, and tea (wheat is used to separate the leaves in a typical tea bag).

Gluten is everywhere and excessive exposure is nearly unavoidable in the western diet without dramatic changes in food consumption.

The distillation process is supposed to remove all gluten, but some people who are highly sensitive may still have a reaction.

But distilled liquids that originate from wheat, rye and barley should be safe for most on a gluten free diet.

No

You can look at the ingredients when you buy things, and some times you can ask the employees, but these things can make trying to eat gluten free harder, if you want to plan things out, but they work! Best of luck!

More often it's a sign of lactose (milk) intolerance. See the related link for info on celiac (gluten) disease.

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.

Yes. Wheat is not used in fabric softener.

There is probably a phone number or web address on the label to contact with questions like this. In a situation as with Celiac disease you will want to be sure to get the correct answer directly from the manufacturer. If there is no phone number on the package, do an internet search to find contact information for the company. Many products you would not expect to have gluten will, because they may be manufactured in a plant that also processes wheat products. For example, you should question the manufacturer of oatmeal to be sure it is not coming from a mill or facility that also handles wheat, which could allow some cross contamination in tiny amounts enough to trigger reactions in Celiac disease.

Yes

Allergic to gluten - alérgico al gluten

I wasn't aware that it was, but I would assume it is because the particles of flour are finer and pack together tighter.

No. All cumin seeds contain is cumin.

According to the company that makes the ice cream you asked about, the birthday cake flavor ice cream is NOT gluten free. Any flavor that includes gluten-laden ingredients in the title or pieces of the stated items such as cookies, cake pieces, pie crust pieces, graham cracker pieces, ice cream cone pieces, or anything that contains wheat, rye, barley (malted), or oats, etc., are not gluten free. Best to stick to flavors that do not contain these items or that are specifically labeled gluten free on the package.

Found this info from the manufacturer online. I am sorry this post is going to be extremly long because of the their reply. Are any Tofutti products gluten free? Regarding gluten, some of our products are obviously not gluten free, such as our Cutie ice cream sandwiches, Chocolate Cookie Crunch pint, and Tofutti cookies, as well as a number of our frozen food products like Pizza Pizzaz and blintzes. Even though we do not add any gluten directly in our mixes, we usually do not certify any of our products as being gluten free because of the manner in which some of the flavors we use may be processed. Vanilla, in particular, is typically distilled with grain alcohol. Although it is cooked off during the distillation process, it could still leave some trace amounts of gluten. Since this information is proprietary to the flavor manufacturer, and ordinarily we only require the ingredient be totally dairy free (kosher parve), we have no way of knowing for sure. What reaction an individual might have depends on the severity of his/her condition. Our Better Than Cream Cheese and Sour Supreme also have no gluten added, although, once again, alcohol could be used in the manufacture of the flavors. Our Veggie Soy-Cheese slices use distilled vinegar, which may contain traces of gluten. Although distilled vinegar is derived from grain, it is not certain if the vinegar contains gluten. This is a subject of great debate in the celiac and autistic communities, but even many conservative celiacs or parents of autistic children believe it is probably okay since most food chemists consulted by them believe that the distillation process should eliminate traces of gluten. We are just relating to you the opinion of outside consultants, not Tofutti Brands. Only one celiac association still believes there is gluten in grain alcohol or distilled vinegar. The other two major celiac organizations, as well as all the chemists and doctors who are known as celiac experts, now insist there is no gluten in distilled products of any kind, unless it is added later. According to these experts, the only vinegar to avoid is malt vinegar. Tofutti receives approximately ten inquiries a week about gluten. In most cases, those individuals are not concerned about the flavor distilled with grain alcohol issue since at worst it would be only trace amounts of gluten and their particular condition permits them to use the product, since they are more severely dairy intolerant. The majority of these inquiries involve children who are autistic. It has been recently discovered that in addition to not being able to have dairy products, autistic children cannot have gluten either. However, the ultimate decision to use our products rests with you, the consumer. If you are not comfortable with the preceding information, please do not use our products. Given the enormous difficulty we have in ensuring that all of our products are completely dairy free 100% of the time, the logistics in also ensuring that they would be gluten free is probably overwhelming. An additional problem is that unlike dairy free, where you can rely on an independent, outside verification service (kosher supervision), there basically is no such service for gluten. To accommodate our lactose intolerant customers who also cannot have gluten, we have introduced two no gluten added stick novelties, a fudge bar called Totally Fudge and a chocolate coated vanilla bar called Marry Me. Additionally, these products are made with organic sugar as a sweetener. These products are already available in most health food stores and select supermarkets around the country.

For the love of god somebody answer! I am on day 3 of no wheat and all I want is red meat.

I'm not sure but in any case the question becomes moot when considering it's other bad qualities. I understand it completely destroys the absorption of sulfur and of coarse MSM which is the building block of all healthy body functions.

I went to the cellucor website and submitted the following question: "Is super HD gluten free?" and received the following response from a rep:

"Yes all of our products are gluten free"

I have Celiac disease. Took it this morning and have a bit of an upset stomach, but that may just be my low tolerance to these types of supplements as I am a new user.

I have not had a problem with this product. Although this is gluten free in come cases it is not casein free. Most people with Celiac Disease are also Casein (protein in milk) intolerant.

No, because it's got wheat in it. Unless you've got gluten-free bread.

yes

There is no wheat in cheese.
