A person following a gluten free diet may still consume up to 500mg of gluten on average every day. This leads to severe discomfort for those suffering from non-coeliac gluten sensitivity. The two greatest risks for those following a gluten free diet are hidden gluten and cross contamination. You can find hidden gluten in places such as salad dressing, soups, and soy sauce. Condiments can also be a breeding ground for hidden gluten…ketchup anyone? Cross contamination is when your food comes close – or in contact – with other foods that have gluten. The fryer, the prep table, a knife… All ways that gluten can find its way into your ‘gluten-free’ foods. This is a common occurrence at restaurants. Even if your server knows you have a gluten sensitivity, you can still experience cross contamination. A recent study discovered that cross contamination happens as often an 41% of the time. Also, 24% of random supplements tested had a cross contamination of gluten.
