Be aware - Gluten is 'hidden' in many common products

[ElliotB]

You probably already know that gluten can be in anything made from wheat, rye, or barley. But it is such a good product enhancer that its added in many items, both food and non food, that you might not think of. If you have chosen to go gluten free, be aware. I have and just recently discovered that even many shampoos have gluten added (just ordered and received some gluten free shampoo). Pickles too (just started making my own)!

Here are some links to get you started (info about gluten is all over the web and if you are serious about being gluten free, and it is extremely important for those of us with MS, you should take the time to become a gluten geek):
