Well, let&#8217;s start at the beginning and define <strong>what is gluten<\/strong>? Gluten is a protein that is found naturally in many grains such as wheat, rye and barley. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>So, what is a <strong>gluten-free diet<\/strong>?<\/p> \r\n<p>A gluten-free diet is one in which you avoid all foods containing gluten.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Which brings up the question &#8211; <strong>who should follow a gluten free diet<\/strong>?<\/p>\r\n<p>People who have celiac disease need to follow a gluten free diet because they cannot tolerate gluten. Celiac disease is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with the absorption of nutrients from food. Following a gluten-free diet helps to treat the disease. If you have celiac disease and don&#8217;t follow a gluten-free diet, the consumed gluten causes inflammation of the small intestines. Keeping gluten out of your system (this is a forever thing by the way) helps to control the symptoms and prevent further complications. <\/p>\r\n<div class=\"cody-item-pic-container cntrtxt\">\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/wheat.jpg\" alt=\"What Is Gluten-Free\" height=\"295px\" width=\"300px\" \/><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row margin-topbot-15\">\n<!-- EBD Responsive Top -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8222024904512683\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"6874518955\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row margin-topbot-15 cody-item-pic\">\n\t\t<div class=\"fusion-column content-box-column content-box-column-1 boxed-cody-white boxed-botbor-green cody-dropshadow\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col content-wrapper cody-blog-post-paragraphs\"><h1 class=\"title cntrtxt margin-bottom-15\"><strong>What Is Gluten-Free?<\/strong><\/h1>\r\n<h2 class=\"title cntrtxt margin-bottom-15 cody-green-heading\"><strong>Gluten-Free Foods<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n<table id=\"unopened\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Gluten-free Foods <\/th>\r\n<th>(Example)<\/th>\r\n<th>these foods are <strong>Allowed<\/strong> on a Gluten-Free Diet<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><\/td>\r\n<td><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr class=\"alt\">\r\n<td><strong>Beans, Seeds, Nuts<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/nuts_icon.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/nuts_icon.png\" alt=\"nuts_icon\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9511\" \/><\/a><\/td>\r\n<td>in their natural, unprocessed form<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Eggs<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/egg_icon.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/egg_icon.png\" alt=\"How Long Do Eggs Last?\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9619\" \/><\/a><\/td>\r\n<td><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr class=\"alt\">\r\n<td><strong>Meat, Fish, Poultry<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/beef_icon.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/beef_icon.png\" alt=\"beef_icon\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9518\" \/><\/a><\/td>\r\n<td>without breading or batter<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Vegetables<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/broccoli_icon.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/broccoli_icon.png\" alt=\"broccoli_icon\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9226\" \/><\/a><\/td>\r\n<td>without additives or sauces<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr class=\"alt\">\r\n<td><strong>Fruits<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/orange_icon.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/orange_icon.png\" alt=\"orange_icon\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9569\" \/><\/a><\/td>\r\n<td><\/td>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Most Dairy Products<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/milk_icon.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/milk_icon.png\" alt=\"milk_icon\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9492\" \/><\/a><\/td>\r\n<td><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr class=\"alt\">\r\n<td><strong><em>Select<\/em> Grains and Starches<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><\/td>\r\n<td>Amaranth, Arrowroot, Buckwheat, Corn and cornmeal, Flax, Gluten-free flours (rice, soy, corn, potato, bean), Hominy (corn), Millet, Quinoa, Rice, Sorghum, Soy, Tapioca, Teff<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<p>*It&#8217;s important to make sure all of these foods are not processed or mixed with gluten-containing grains, additives or preservatives.

A gluten free diet may at first seem impossible, but many foods are naturally gluten free and substitutes are becoming more and more available for foods that normally contain gluten. Many specialty grocery stores now sell gluten-free foods, especially whole foods or health food stores. Williams-Sonoma has a great gluten-free flour that people make special trips to purchase. If you&#8217;re just starting on a gluten-free diet, it&#8217;s best to consult a dietitian who can give advice on how to avoid gluten while maintaining a balanced diet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Foods to Avoid &#8211; Foods Containing Gluten:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<table id=\"unopened\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Foods <\/th>\r\n<th>AVOID these foods for a Gluten-Free Diet<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr class=\"alt\">\r\n<td><strong>Wheat<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td>Avoiding wheat products is usually the biggest challenge in a gluten-free diet.

When in doubt, check with the food manufacturer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"title margin-bottom-15 cody-green-heading\"><strong>Cross-contamination and Other Gluten-free Problems<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Cross-contamination occurs when gluten-free foods come into contact with foods that contain gluten. It can happen during the manufacturing process, for example, if the same equipment is used to make a variety of products. Some food labels include a &#8220;may contain&#8221; statement if this is the case.<\/p> \r\n<p>**<strong>But beware &#8211; this type of label is voluntary on the part of the manufacturer (and not required of them).** <\/strong> \r\nYou still need to check the actual ingredient list, and if it is still unclear whether it is gluten-free then don&#8217;t buy it or call the manufacturer. <\/p>\r\n \r\n<p>Cross-contamination can also occur at home if foods are prepared on common surfaces or with utensils that weren&#8217;t thoroughly cleaned after being used to prepare gluten-containing foods. For example, using a common toaster for gluten-free bread and regular bread is a major source of cross-contamination.<\/p> \r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Is oatmeal gluten-free<\/strong>?<\/h3>\r\nCertain grains, such as oats, can be contaminated with wheat during the growing and processing stages of production as explained above. For this reason, doctors and dietitians generally recommend avoiding oats unless they are specifically labeled &#8220;gluten-free&#8221;.\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Risks of a Gluten-free diet<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nAt risk with a gluten-free diet is the chance of not getting enough vitamins.\r\nSince many grains are enriched with vitamins, avoiding them means missing some extra vitamins and minerals. Ask your dietitian to review your diet to see that you&#8217;re getting enough of all key nutrients.\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Not sticking to a gluten-free diet<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIf you accidentally eat a product that contains gluten, you may experience abdominal pain and diarrhea. Some people experience no signs or symptoms after eating gluten, but this doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s not damaging their small intestines. Even trace amounts of gluten in your diet may be damaging, whether or not they cause signs or symptoms. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/celiac-disease\/expert-answers\/celiac-disease\/faq-20058118\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">[1]<\/a>.\r\nRemember, a <strong>gluten-free diet<\/strong> is not the answer for everyone, but if you have celiac disease following a strict gluten-free diet will save you much abdominal pain, cramping and diarrhea! \r\n<\/p> \r\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row margin-topbot-15 hidden-over-600\">\n<!-- EBD Responsive 3rd -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle hidden-over-600\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8222024904512683\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"6039927357\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t<div class=\"fusion-column content-box-column content-box-column-1 boxed-cody-white boxed-botbor-green cody-dropshadow\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col content-wrapper cody-blog-post-paragraphs cntrtxt\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>To find out how long other foods are good for, please visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/dairy\/\">Dairy<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/drinks\/\">Drinks<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/fruits\/\">Fruits<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/grains\/\">Grains<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/proteins\/\">Proteins<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/vegetables\/\">Vegetables<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/other\/\">Other<\/a> sections of Eat By Date or use the search function below.<\/p><table id=\"green\" class=\"hidden-under-767\">\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td><h2 class=\"cntrtxt\"><b><span>SEARCH<\/span> Eat By Date<\/b><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cody-cse\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<gcse:searchbox-only><\/gcse:searchbox-only>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/table><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-cody-3 manual-sidebar\"><div class=\"row margin-bottom-15 hidden-under-801\">\n\t<table id=\"green\" class=\"sidebar-search\">\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td><class=\"cntrtxt\"><h2><b><span>SEARCH<\/span> Eat By Date<\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cody-cse\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<gcse:searchbox-only><\/gcse:searchbox-only>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row margin-topbot-15\"><div class=\"margin-topbot-15\"><div class=\"boxed-cody-white boxed-botbor-purple cody-dropshadow cody-most-recent-post cody-rakuten\">\n    \t\t\t<h2 class=\"cntrtxt margin-bottom-15 margin-top-0\">Our Favorite Food Storage Set!<\/h2>\n    \t\t\t<div class=\"col-cody-6 aligncenter margin-bottom-0\" style=\"height:unset;\">\n    \t\t\t\t<a class=\"sidebar-rakuten-image\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07KZJVTMC\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B07KZJVTMC&linkCode=as2&tag=vintapplprod-20&linkId=65cabb76a9fe35f86b4380a964e828d4\">\n    \t\t\t\t    <img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&MarketPlace=US&ASIN=B07KZJVTMC&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL250_&tag=vintapplprod-20\" style=\"left:0;top:0;-ms-transform: translate(0%,0%);-webkit-transform: translate(0%,0%);-moz-transform: translate(0%,0%);-o-transform: translate(0%,0%);transform: translate(0%,0%);\">\n    \t\t\t\t<\/a>\n    \t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=vintapplprod-20&l=am2&o=1&a=B07KZJVTMC\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/>\n    \t\t\t<\/div>\n    \t\t\t<div style=\"text-align:center;\">\n                    <p class=\"paraunderline margin-top-0\">With oven-safe glass and water-tight lids, these food storage containers are ready for action!
