Is barley gluten-free?\u00a0 One question many ask when starting a gluten free diet is whether barley is safe for those with celiac or gluten allergy.<\/p>\n

Barley does contain gluten, so you have to cut it out if you’re going gluten-free.\u00a0 Sorry to bring you the bad news.<\/p>\n

Gluten is found in barley, wheat, rye and oats.\u00a0 Some dispute oats, but you’re safer to include it on the list if you are celiac.<\/p>\n

Barley is in quite a few things.\u00a0 Many types of beer are made with barley (or wheat, or both).\u00a0 It can be found in breads and cereals, which often\u00a0 contain barley or barley malt.<\/p>\n

Barley containing foods<\/h2>\n

Some foods that may contain barley include the following.\u00a0 Always check ingredients.\u00a0 Some brands may contain barley, while others are free of it.\u00a0 With some brands it may depend on the flavour.<\/p>\n

\n
• Bread<\/li>\n
• Cereals<\/li>\n
• Beer<\/li>\n
• Hot dog buns<\/li>\n
• Hamburger buns<\/li>\n
• Crackers<\/li>\n

  Malt and maltodextrin may be derived from barley.<\/p>\n

  Avoiding gluten means more than just avoiding wheat.\u00a0 Wheat is the most common source of gluten, but remember to watch out for oats, barley and rye.<\/p>\n

  Processed foods have all sorts of unlikely ingredients, so don’t be fooled by common sense, always read labels.<\/p>\n

  Always ask at restaurants.\u00a0 Many restaurants know about gluten and wheat, but may miss barley as an gluten-contributing factor.<\/p>\n

  Staying gluten-free can be like crossing a mine field, but if you have a gluten allergy or are celiac, it is well worth the effort.<\/p>\n
