Gluten loaded foods to avoid for this Christmas.
Managing a diet completely
free from gluten can be a real challenge, especially when it comes to eating
out. At this time of year in particular, when social calendars are full,
festive meals in restaurants and the homes of friends and family can lead to
stress and unfortunate physical symptoms for those with non-coeliac
gluten sensitivity.
Gluten can often be
found lurking in many pre-prepared and processed foods, sauces and everyday
ingredients. Common hidden sources of gluten include:
- Soy
and teriyaki sauce
- Sausages
- Condiments
such as ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise
- Broths,
stocks and bouillons
- Ground
spices
- Chewing
gum
- Pre-seasoned
meat and fish
- Processed
deli meats
- Chocolate
- Chips
