Foods That Contain Gluten-Foods to Avoid

It is very important to always read the labels on any food you are going to eat. You must check each time you buy an item because formulations change, and you can't tell unless you take the time to check the label for allergens. For gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, the most common foods to avoid are listed below.

Any bread or roll that is safe will say gluten free on the package. Usually they are in a separate "health food" section.

Most fruits and vegetables, even if canned or frozen, are gluten and casein free. If they are processed with any sauce or seasoning however, there is much more chance that they contain gluten or casein.

Foods that contain gluten can often be spotted by the label. All products whose label says wheat must be avoided on a gluten free diet. Also those containing barley, or rye. This includes, but is not limited to:
