What foods contain gluten?

Removing foods like wheat, rye, barley, cereal and pastas from your diet can make a big difference for those with gluten sensitivity. Other foods that may contain gluten, according to the Celiac Disease Foundation, include pancakes and waffles, panko breadcrumbs, croutons, cakes and cookies, pastries, crackers, and much more. To the surprise of many, beer and malt beverages might even contain gluten.

Only by excluding these foods can you really find out if they are the problem. You don't have to give up treats or snacks, however, because gluten-free breads, brownies, pastas and more are widely available. Work with your doctor or a nutritionist to create a dietary plan to test whether your symptoms improve after eliminating gluten, and if you may have gluten sensitivity, create a plan to keep symptoms at bay.

When all else fails, treating gluten sensitivity with over-the-counter digestive aids can relieve the symptoms and make mealtimes more enjoyable, while easing the fear of food causing so much discomfort. Don't allow gluten sensitivity symptoms get in the way of living a normal, healthy life.
