Always read the label
Don’t eat foods with labels that list questionable ingredients unless you can verify they do not contain or are not derived from prohibited grains. Labels must be read every time foods are purchased. Manufacturers can change ingredients at any time.
If You Don’t Know, Don’t Eat
Don’t eat a food if you are unable to verify the ingredients or if the ingredient list is unavailable. Regardless of the amount eaten, if you have celiac disease, damage to the small intestine occurs every time gluten is consumed, whether symptoms are present or not.
Wheat Free Is Not Gluten Free
Spelt is a form of wheat and should not be eaten on a gluten free diet. Just because it says Wheat Free does not make it Gluten Free.
Know For Sure
Get tested for celiac disease before starting the gluten free diet in order to be properly diagnosed.
