Wishing you had a good list of ingredients containing gluten? Now you do thanks to this post. I’ve been long asked to share a list of what ingredients contain gluten and decided to put one together for after seeing that many different lists were missing key ingredients that I’ve included here.

One of the reasons that I started Season 2 of the Gluten Free School Podcast was to help empower you and other patients out there so that you can see results sooner.
