Hi people. I have Celiac disease and I
have strict diet and I know what is
forbidden and what isn't. But I was
reading on the net that even the food that
is allowed can be harmful in our condition
because there are some additives in it.
Like for example tofu cheese can contain
some additives that are not allowed and it
is soy product ... Have any of you heard
of something like this ? thanks.

yes, I have heard of this. You have to be
very careuful when the ingredient label
says "Natural flavoring" , ""Caramel
coloring" "modified food starch"-(although
in the US it has to be made from corn).
These are referred to as "hidden glutens"
and processed foods are full of them.
Many health food stores have gluten free
product guides available to assist you
with oyour shopping. There is also a
national product guide available through
the CS/USA website. They cost $20 or
soemthing, but they are incredibly worth
it. Also, your local support group may
also have some resources available. happy
hunting!
