Hidden Gluten:

Be careful with these items, as they might contain gluten:

* Processed foods: Check labels for "wheat," "barley," or "rye" in the ingredients list.

* Restaurant meals: Ask about the ingredients used in dishes.

* Cross-contamination: Gluten-free products might be contaminated with gluten if they're processed in a facility that also handles gluten-containing foods.

To stay safe:

* Read labels carefully: Look for "gluten-free" labels or "no wheat," "no barley," and "no rye" in the ingredient list.

* Ask questions: In restaurants, be sure to ask your server about ingredients and potential cross-contamination.

* Choose naturally gluten-free foods: Fruits, vegetables, meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, rice, corn, quinoa, and beans are all gluten-free.

Remember, this is not an exhaustive list. Always check labels and inquire about ingredients to ensure you're avoiding gluten if needed.
