Celiac disease, is an inherited condition that affects nearly 1%
of the population. Many non celiac individuals also experience
varying degrees of gluten sensitivity. While some gluten
containing foods , like bread and pasta are evident and easy to
avoid, others are surprisingly not.
1. Corn Flakes- while corn is naturally gluten free, most brands
of corn flakes aren't safe. Most cereals are sweetened with Malt.
2. Oats- Pure oats are completely safe for those with Celiac disease,
but studies have shown that most oats are processed in facilities with
wheat and barely. Look for labels that say gluten free on the box.
3. Ice Cream- Who doesn't love an ice cream cone? Ice cream can
be gluten free, but depends on the ingredients. You need to always
check the label.
4. Couscous- Most couscous looks like rice, but it is made from
semolina, a type of wheat.
5. Meat Substitutes- Faux meat options aren't just for vegans anymore!
Many of these products are gluten free, however some contains gluten.
6. Deli Meats- Fresh, unseasoned meat is naturally gluten free.
However some meats add starches in their seasoning. Certified gluten
free is always good to look for.
