E76 Hidden Gluten Exposed: Find and Avoid Gluten Sources That Sabotage Your Health

·21 min·8 clips

Jennifer Monk starts with a blunt question. She asks whether hidden gluten could still be slipping through a gluten-free routine and slowing down healing. Soy sauce comes first. She explains that soy sauce is made with wheat, that tamari can be a wheat-free option, but that tamari labels can still change, so the bottle has to be checked every time. Licorice gets a quick warning. Spices come next, and she treats them as worth checking closely because they show up in so many meals and are easy to overlook at home. Oats need care. She reminds listeners that oats are naturally gluten-free, but the growing and processing can change that, which is why certified gluten-free oats matter. Communion wafers are another surprise. She points out that some church wafers are low gluten rather than gluten-free, so she urges listeners to talk with the church before taking the host. Supplements are not off the hook. Vitamins, supplements, and medication all need careful checking because hidden gluten can show up there too. The message stays practical. Read the label, ask questions, and do not assume a familiar product is safe just because it looks ordinary. The tone stays reassuring. She keeps bringing the listener back to the same idea that a safer gluten-free life comes from systems, not from guesswork or wishful thinking. The episode is a teaching walk-through. It moves from pantry items to church settings to the medicine cabinet, showing how many daily spaces need the same kind of attention. Jennifer Monk keeps it simple. By the end, she is steering listeners toward a hidden gluten guide and a more confident, controlled gluten-free routine.
