Turns out that glutens are found in many places, including non-food items.
Sadly, manufacturers of non-food items aren't under the same FDA guidelines as food manufacturers so these items are often not even considered by those on a GF diet.
Here's a few to look out for:
grain alcohols
denatured alcohols
ethyl alcohol/ethoxylate
wheat germamidopropyl betaine
glycol stearate
phenoxyethanol
These are most often found in hair color products, certain shampoos and conditioners, self-tanning lotions and adhesives (like stamps but also some bandages)
So, if your GF diet just doesn't seem to be working please consider that there may be other non-food sources. If in doubt, you can call 1-800-555-1212 for a list of company #'s for product information.
