So, what exactly does it mean to be on a GLUTEN FREE DIET?
Gluten-free diets are typically associated with those with Celiac disease -- which is an autoimmune disorder of the small bowel that occurs in genetically predisposed people. Treatment of the disease typically involves being on a gluten free diet .
A gluten free diet is completely free of ingredients derived from gluten-containing foods: wheat, barley, rye, oats , as well as the use of gluten as a food additive in the form of a flavoring, stabilizing or thickening agent.
Several grains and starch sources are considered acceptable for a gluten-free diet. The most frequently used are corn, potatoes, and rice.
Gluten is also used in foods in some unexpected ways, for example as a stabilizing agent or thickener in products like ice cream and ketchup
People wishing to follow a completely gluten free diet must also take into consideration the ingredients of any over-the-counter or prescription medications and vitamins. Also, cosmetics such as lipstick, lip balms, and lip chap may contain gluten and need to be investigated before use.
