Many products are non-GF that would surprise you: Ketchup, soy sauce, sweet potato fries, BBQ sauce, teriyaki sauce, so the labeling is a good thing. I need to take eye glasses to the grocery store now.
Yeah, Ron, but soy sauce and teriyaki sauce are NOT NORMALLY GLUTEN FREE as they are made partly from fermented wheat. While there are gluten free versions of these two, they are not the norm.
While wheat, rye, and barley are ubiquitous in the american diet (all three contain gluten) making it a challenge for folks who have trouble with gluten, there are alternatives. A number of companies make flour from gains other than these, it takes some learning to adapt or find recipes for them. My daughter is off gluten, it causes raging migraines when she eats it. We've substituted combinations of rice flour, quinoa flour, and are experimenting with amaranth flour in some things.
Very true, but many are not aware of the source of many of our foods. I have begun to add rye to my diet (Finnish Knackebrod crackers from non-GMO rye) that my system does seem to tolerate well. You're right, it's a learning process.
