I just read that baking soda is not gluten free. Is this true? I am fairly new to this and this revealation didn't sit well with me. Can anyone explain it to me? Baking powder can be fine, I get that. I use baking soda for many different uses. i don't want to make my kids sick. Thank you for your input! - Julie

Where did you read this?

Because baking powder is often marked "gluten-free" on the label, but consists of bicarbonate of soda and something acidic to make it work, plus cornstarch or something to carry it.

I think if your baking soda is just bicarbonate of soda, and no fillers or anything else added, it should be okay...

I've never heard of baking soda itself as having anything to do with gluten.

Baking soda is gluten free!
