Sources of Gluten

Gluten is a protein found in the grains of wheat, barley, rye, oats (that have been contaminated by other grains), however spelt, quinoa, and other more exotic grains have traces of gluten as well.

 

Celiacs have, quite simply, a malabsorption or digestive disorder caused by an intolerance or sensitivity to gluten.

 

If you are symptomatic, some simple tests can be suggested to determine if you may be a Celiac.

 

Maintenance of a strict gluten-free diet can be quite difficult
in the United States
due to the random distribution
of gluten...


 ...discover which foods and beverages to beware of that contain gluten, and which are safe to consume and do not contain gluten.
