Gluten-Free Diet - Protocol Guide
Overview
The gluten-free diet is a specialized nutritional elimination framework designed for individuals with celiac dietary requirements, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, or seeking gluten exclusion.
Key Principles
- 100% elimination of wheat (including spelt, farro, kamut), barley, rye, and triticale
- Use exclusively certified gluten-free oats
- Rigorous prevention of microscopic cross-contamination (<20 ppm Codex standard)
- Prioritize naturally gluten-free whole foods over ultra-processed gluten-free replacement snacks
Food Guidelines
Recommended
- Naturally gluten-free grains (brown rice, quinoa, millet, buckwheat)
- Fresh unprocessed meats, poultry, and fish
- All fresh fruits and vegetables
- Plain legumes and beans
- Raw unroasted nuts
Limit
- Packaged gluten-free baked goods (frequently high in refined starches)
- Commercial deli meats (always verify gluten-free certification)
Avoid
- Traditional wheat bread, pasta, pizza, and cookies
- Barley-brewed beer
- Standard soy sauce (contains wheat)
- Seitan (pure wheat gluten)
- Processed foods with unidentified modified starches
Practical Tips
- Maintain a dedicated toaster and non-porous cookware in shared kitchens to prevent trace gluten exposure
- Carefully review labels on sauces, seasoning mixes, and pharmaceutical capsules for hidden gluten
