GF diet

Can anyone tell me if soybean oil and soy milk fall under gluten free diet?

Gluten is a protein found in grains including wheat, rye, oats and barley.  It is important to include a wide variety of gluten free cereal products in a Gluten Free diet. This can be as simple as adding small amounts of soy, potato flour or rice bran to a dish.  These are important sources of fibre, B group vitamins, zinc and increase the variety of the diet. Soymilk and soybean oil is not a by-product of gluten.  Be careful however, as  foods may also contain less obvious sources of gluten as there is no requirement for manufacturers to specify the composition of ingredients that contribute less than 10% of a food. For example, it may be difficult to determine the origin of a soy sauce included as an ingredient in a commercial marinade.This means that gluten may be carried over into the marinade via the soy sauce. It is best to contact the manufacturer directly to determine the source of these ingredients.
It is essential that all food labels be rechecked regularly since the composition may change. Avoid any food that is doubtful.

Also, many people who have a gluten intolerance also have an intolerance to soy.  Almond milk is a great substitute if you're one of the folks who can't take soy.  There is a great website called www.glutenfree.com that has all kinds of gluten-free foods.  Good luck.
