What is Gluten Free?
A gluten free diet involves excluding foods that are made from gluten containing grains. Foods made from wheat, rye, triticale, barley and oats contain large amounts of gluten so they must be permanently removed for a gluten free diet. Gluten is the main protein in the cereal grains, wheat, rye, triticale, barley and oats. These grains are present in staple foods such as bread, breakfast cereals, pasta, biscuits, cakes etc. While gluten is easy to detect in these foods, many processed foods contain "hidden gluten". This "hidden gluten" refers to the additives, starches and preservatives that may contain gluten.
