some are
(e.g. cornstarch, tapioca)
http://www.coeliac.com.au/FoodAdditives.aspx Thickeners in the 1400-1450 range are made from starch and therefore may be derived from wheat. If wheat-derived, thickeners contain very small levels of detectable gluten, and so are considered not gluten free. If derived from maize, potato, tapioca or rice then they are gluten free. Thickeners are may also be called modified starch or dextrins (thickener 1400). If the source of the thickener is wheat (or another gluten-containing grain), then it should be avoided on the gluten free diet. New food labelling laws (effective December 2003) enforce that all wheat-derived thickeners must be declared in the ingredients listing.

Try 'arrowroot' you find it near the cake mixes etc
Not only is it gluten free, but it will not change the colour of what ever you are thickening
Oh and it is tasteless
