As far as I know, I ate gluten for the first time (not on purpose of course), since becoming gluten free. It wasn't even from a bar or anything that I would have thought. No, I ate wheat and barley products in a juice. I know! Seriously, it said 100% juice, and that juice happened to include wheat grass and barley grass. I'm not actually sure how much gluten is in each of those things, and I only had a sip of it, but still. Ugh. I know that it was all my fault as the product said contains wheat products after the ingredients, as well as listing wheat and barley grasses in the ingredients. Still, it's annoying.
The product was from Naked Juice, and it was the Green Machine one. It did taste good, but it also had wheat and barley in it. I'm not sure about any of the other Naked Juices, but I just thought that I'd let you all know =D. Be careful, and always read the label. It's the ones that you don't expect that can make you sick.

Sorry to hear you got glutened. My poor husband suffers from rashes and headaches whenever he accidentally ingests gluten, (once from "natural" lemonade that got it's natural cloudiness from added wheat starch!!!) so I feel for you.
Stop by my blog and perhaps you will feel better after picking up a little award for all your hard blogging work.
Hi Lauren,
That happened to me in Turkey with a bottle of what I presumed to be wholesome beet juice. Only after I had downed two glasses did I notice the fermented wheat grass on the ingredient list. I've also noticed gluten in some of the large bottles of fancy juice at our coop so watch out. Glad you didn't get too ill!
