Shopping for a gluten-free diet has become easier thanks to increased awareness of gluten sensitivities, but it’s still a difficult task. Many grocery stores stock a gluten-free section, but that area is seldom more than a few shelves.

At the top of the list of foods to avoid are those made with wheat — which encompasses quite a lengthy list. Anything that contains flour generally contains wheat flour, even if it’s not a whole-wheat item. Wheat can even be lurking in unexpected places — it’s used as a thickening agent and is in a lot of condensed soups, gravy mixes, and sauces as well as in processed meats.

People who have gluten sensitivity or celiac disease also need to avoid foods and products made with barley and rye, which are relatives of wheat. Oats are naturally gluten-free, but they’re often farmed on land on a rotation with wheat and are processed by the same machines, so look for a brand labeled “gluten-free” — Red Mill is a good brand.
