Things sometimes differ between Canada (where I am) and the US, but caramel colour in north america is generally corn based. If a product is imported it runs a small risk of being wheat, but generally not. The only additives we were ever told by Celiac Canada to avoid were the lake dyes (red and blue) but they are seldom used in anything but candy these days and there is some controversy over whether they contain gluten at all. Sorry to not be more help. Personally I just avoid additives and preservatives as much as possible anyway. BL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, that is not as unusual as it might seem. Most people with Celic's didn't get just before the were diagnosed and many of them self-protect by eating low gluten foods. Potato crisps, corn chips and stuff like that rarely have wheat gluten in them and so it doesn't add to the bad feeling of mal-absorption.
