As a person who suffers from celiac, processed foods are a problem for me be cause hydrolized protein and modified food starch can sometimes be other names for wheat or gluten. Also wheat and or gluten is often added as a thickener or binder in all types of unexpected foods such as salad dressing, ice cream and vitamins or prescriptions.

To be safe, a diet for celiac disease should only consist of fresh natural ingredients that don't contain wheat, such as fruits, vegetables, potatoes and rice, along with processed foods which are clearly marked as gluten free. Most packaged foods now come with a label that says gluten free or states that there is gluten, which means it should be avoided.
