Gluten<\/a> is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It can cause digestive symptoms in certain people, like those with celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, or a wheat allergy (1<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, look for the \u201ccertified gluten-free\u201d label on the package. This is the easiest way to tell if a food is gluten-free. If you don\u2019t see the certification, you\u2019ll need to read the ingredient list (1<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
