Day 2 Of 2 Celiac Disease Food Tips And Products To Avoid

Foods to avoid on a gluten free diet.  The single most important thing to do is avoid all products containing wheat, barley or rye.  Gluten makes up 80% of the protein found in these grains.  Many packaged foods have trace amounts of gluten in them too.

• You need to read all ingredient labels carefully and look for any type of wheat, couscous, spelt, semolina, rye, barley and even oats.
• You need to watch carbohydrates, such as bread, pastas, cakes, cookies, rolls, buns, pie, baking flour and so on. 
• Beer and malt alcohol are made with barley or wheat.
• Some sauces and condiments contain gluten.  Many soy sauces, marinades, and dressings.

There are also many foods that have hidden gluten, I will list a few.

• Some coffee creamers

• Frozen french fries
• Frozen veggie burgers
