According to Michael F. Roizen, MD and Mehmet C. Oz, MD:
The buzz surrounding the word "gluten" has to do with the issue of gluten intolerance, allergies, and diseases associated with the body's inability to handle gluten, the substance found in wheat, rye, and barley (it's the doughy stuff that holds it all together).
The difference between an allergy and intolerance is that an allergy can cause inflammatory reaction in the skin, mouth, and lungs, while an intolerance does not involve the immune system and manifests itself more in symptoms of discomfort such as gas, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. (Celiac disease is the permanent intolerance to the chemicals associated with wheat protein.) The problem with this host of problems is not only the symptoms that come along with them but also the fact that the changes in the intestines can make it difficult to absorb important vitamins and nutrients.
The main foods that contain gluten are wheat, rye, barley, and all their derivatives, such as bran, couscous, and orzo. Other foods that contain gluten are beer, artificial flavors, candy, lunch meats, Communion wafers, pasta, soy sauce, and lipstick. Some grains are gluten free. They include chia, buckwheat, flax, corn,quinoa, rice, and soy.
Under-the-radar, red-flag words include "modified," "hydrogenated," and "natural flavors."
