Get Used To Reading Food Labels The only way to ensure what you are eating is gluten-free is to read labels. All packaged food is required by law to label foods for specific allergens and list product ingredients. If you don’t see the gluten-free label, check the list of ingredients for mentions of wheat, rye, or barley. Products may also list if it was made in a facility when gluten products are processed. Use Gluten-Free Substitutes Pasta, bread, and crackers all contain gluten, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy these foods in your diet. Instead, switch to gluten-free alternatives, or try making your own from scratch with gluten-free flours. Know Which Alcohol To Avoid Gluten-free alcohol includes cider, wine, sherry, spirits, port, and liqueurs. Most beer, lagers, stouts, and ales contain varying amounts of gluten and are not suitable for a gluten-free diet. Avoid Sauces Containing Gluten Lots of pasta sauces, gravies, stocks, and condiments contain wheat flour, and therefore gluten, so ensure you read the label and exclude anything that isn’t suitable. Cornflour, arrowroot, or potato starch are good alternatives for thickeners when making your own sauces and gravies. Be Aware Of Cross-Contamination Even a tiny bit of gluten can be enough to cause symptoms for someone with celiac disease. Avoid cross-contamination by washing down kitchen surfaces, using different butter, spreads, jams, and toasters to minimize the spread of crumbs, and storing gluten-free bread separately.
