People with celiac disease must strictly avoid gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. This means they should steer clear of foods made from these grains, including:
1. Bread and baked goods: Most traditional breads, pastries, cakes, and cookies contain wheat flour.
2. Pasta: Regular pasta is typically made from wheat; gluten-free alternatives are available.
3. Cereals: Many breakfast cereals contain wheat or barley; look for gluten-free options.
4. Beer and malt beverages: These are usually made from barley and should be avoided.
5. Processed foods: Many packaged foods, sauces, and dressings may contain hidden gluten as thickeners or flavorings.
6. Certain grains: Avoid bulgur, couscous, and semolina, which are derived from wheat.
Always check labels for gluten-free certifications and be cautious of cross-contamination in shared kitchens. Whole foods like fruits, vegetables, meat, and gluten-free grains (like rice, quinoa, and corn) are safe choices.
