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.
