Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and often oats as they are grown next to wheat fields. Gluten is also found in may sauces due to malt vinegar (made from rye) and wheat flour for thickening sauces. People with Celiac disease may become seriously ill or die from contamination of food with gluten. Virtually, all labels of foods purchased must be checked as many items may not contain gluten but were manufactured on machines that had wheat, rye or barley. Only food items labeled gluten-free are truly gluten-free. While eating gluten-free may be a current trend in eating, for many Celiacs and gluten-intolerant people, it is a forever lifestyle.
