Going gluten free can be hard. One day you can eat whatever you want, and the next you have no idea what is gluten free or not. You are now thinking about every food option on the shelf, and asking yourself, "Is that gluten free? What about that? Oh, ___ should be gluten free, right?"  The struggle is real!

Soy Sauce
Ketchup 
BBQ Sauce  
Soups

*Many companies add wheat/gluten as a thickener within sauces as it aids in providing moisture and keep its elasticity*

Raisins  
Nuts

*Flour is sometimes added to help with pieces sticking together*

Jerky, an type

*It is very hard to find gluten free jerky and the few packages that are gluten free and way too expensive. 

Vitamins
Protein Shakes
