Shopping for your wheat-and gluten-free child

Grains such as wheat, barley, rye, spelt and kamut all contain gluten. Furthermore, because of the ways in which foods are packaged and processed, oats are often cross-contaminated with gluten, so it’s important to choose gluten-free oats, too. If your child’s allergy is to wheat, rather than gluten, he or she should be able to tolerate barley and rye. All the recipes in this book are gluten-free, but do check ingredient labels as some less obvious products may contain gluten. For example, not all baking powders are gluten-free.

Manufacturers are required to highlight any glutencontaining grains in their products on the food label – look out for ingredients containing wheat, barley or rye. Products labelled “gluten free” must contain less than 20 parts gluten per million; “low gluten” labels mean that there is no more than 100 parts gluten per million but are rarely used in practice.
