Question 1

What foods contain gluten?

Accepted Answer

Gluten is found in wheat (bread, pasta, cereals), barley (beer, malt), rye (rye bread), and triticale. Also watch for hidden gluten in sauces, dressings, processed meats, and cross-contaminated oats. Always check labels.

Question 2

What grains are gluten-free?

Accepted Answer

Gluten-free grains include: rice, quinoa, buckwheat, millet, amaranth, corn, teff, and certified gluten-free oats. These provide carbohydrates and fiber without gluten. Oats must be labeled gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.

Question 3

Is gluten-free healthier?

Accepted Answer

For people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, yes. For others, there's no evidence gluten-free is healthier. Many gluten-free products are highly processed with added sugar and less fiber. Whole foods are naturally gluten-free.

Question 4

Can you lose weight going gluten-free?

Accepted Answer

Not automatically. Weight loss depends on overall calories, not gluten content. Some people lose weight initially by cutting processed foods, but gluten-free junk food exists too. Focus on whole, naturally gluten-free foods.

Question 5

What is cross-contamination?

Accepted Answer

Cross-contamination occurs when gluten-free foods contact gluten-containing foods or surfaces. For celiac disease, even trace amounts matter. Use separate toasters, cutting boards, and clearly labeled containers. Restaurants can be risky.
