Gluten-free diet

A gluten-free diet (GFD) is a diet that excludes gluten, a protein composite found in wheat, barley, rye, and all their species and hybrids (such as spelt, kamut, and triticale). The inclusion of oats in a gluten-free diet remains controversial. Avenin present in oats may also be toxic for coeliac people; its toxicity depends on the cultivar consumed. Furthermore, oats are frequently cross-contaminated with cereals containing gluten.
