Answer: Foods containing Gluten.

Answer: Do not eat wheat, rye, barley and oats*. U.S. labelling laws now require that WHEAT be listed on ingredients labels: look at the bottom of the ingredients list for a short list of which of the major allergens the food may contain (for example: CONTAINS: MILK, SOY, WHEAT) then if it's not there or there is no list, look within the full list of ingredients for the word "wheat" (for example: "MODIFIED FOOD STARCH (from wheat)"). If you see wheat listed in either place, celiacs should not eat it. If wheat is NOT listed, you still need to be concerned with rye, barley and oats, which are most often spelled out, however barley is also commonly found in varieties of "malt" (including malt syrup and malt flavoring). These ingredients can also hide under other catch-all names like "Natural Flavorings". When in doubt, contact the manufacturer.

*oats are grown in rotation with wheat in most U.S. fields so cross-contamination is an issue. Some suppliers now grow oats in isolated fields and process them in dedicated mills to ensure that they are not cross-contaminated, however some celiacs continue to react to even these specially grown oats: if you have celiac disease, talk to your doctor before consuming oats. On a more general level, "some foods to avoid" can be just about anything that has an ingredient list, since wheat, in particular, is in most processed foods. Unless specifically labeled gluten-free, a celiac would avoid bread (including Pizza, and even corn bread, and other quick breads like muffins or pancakes), donuts, cookies, pasta, chicken-fried anything, most commercial cereals, many commercial soups. Celiacs should also question french fries sold in restaurants: if fried in the same frier as the chicken nuggets and the breaded onion rings, cross contamination is a major issue. On the other hand, other than wheat, rye, barley or oats (and their cousins spelt, kamut, and triticale) whole foods are safe: fruits and vegetables, nuts and unprocessed meats, dairy products and grains other than those four.
