| | Gluten-free diet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Special care must be taken when checking ingredients lists as gluten may come in forms such as vegetable proteins and starch, modified food starch (when derived from wheat instead of maize), maltodextrin, malt flavoring, and glucose syrup. | | | Many foods will contain gluten, but not be indicated on the ingredients, because they are not in the formulation of the product, but in the preparation of it. | | | In spite of its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat; pure buckwheat is considered acceptable for a gluten-free diet, although many commercial buckwheat products are actually mixtures of wheat and buckwheat flours, and thus not acceptable. |

| | Vital Wheat Gluten Flour is usually available in the health food section or baking section of your grocery, or at some health food stores. | | | Vital wheat gluten can also be an essential ingredient when baking with soy flour or soya powder, as soy contains no gluten element to allow baking doughs to raise or hold their shape. | | | Gluten is the natural protein in the wheat endosperm which, when combined with water, forms a taffy-like dough. |

| | Gluten |
| | Gluten is also contained in manufactured and processed foods where wheat flour is commonly used as a processing aid, a binder, a filler or as a carrier for favourings and spices. | | | Wheat is usually milled into flour and therefore any food made from four, such as ordinary bread, biscuits, cakes, pastries, puddings and pies, will contain gluten. | | | However, once such foods are processed or used as ingredients in other foods, great care must be taken to ensure that wheat or other gluten-containing cereals have not been added in the manufacture. |

| | Ingestion of gluten proteins, from the common food grains wheat, rye, and barley, by coeliac patients results in the flattening of the epithelial villous lining of the small intestine, which leads to malabsorption of nutrients, weight loss and a whole host of other symptoms, including intestinal malignancies. | | | The treatment, which has a high rate of success,is to remove gluten - found in rye and barley as well as wheat- from your diet. | | | The implication is that the heavily wheat-based western diet - bread, cereals, pastries, pasta - is actually making millions of people ill. |
