Don\u2019t Need to Worry About<\/a>.\u00a0<em> &#8230; <strong>Do your homework<\/strong> &#8211; look for the words &#8220;Gluten Free&#8221; on the package, Google the product with the words &#8220;Gluten free&#8221;, or scan it with one of the available apps.\u00a0 I have called the company on some products.\u00a0 I did learn that this article&#8217;s argument for the term <strong>&#8220;Spices&#8221;<\/strong> might not be accurate.\u00a0 Some spice companies say that if they are mixed spices (not just one ingredient) that there might be fillers (which are natural from plants &#8211; sometimes wheat).<\/em>]\n<h4>Label Reading<\/h4>\n<p>&#8220;Products labeled wheat-free are not necessarily gluten-free. They may still contain spelt (a form of wheat), rye, or barley-based ingredients that are not gluten-free. To confirm if something is gluten-free, be sure to refer to the product\u2019s ingredient list.&#8221; (To learn more see:\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/celiac.org\/live-gluten-free\/glutenfreediet\/label-reading\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Celiac.org: Label Reading and the FDA<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What is a gluten challenge?<\/h3>\n<p>(Source:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bidmc.org\/Centers-and-Departments\/Departments\/Digestive-Disease-Center\/Services\/Celiac-Center\/FAQ\/Diagnosing-Celiac-Disease.aspx#bloodtests\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School Teaching Hospital: FAQs<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A gluten challenge is recommended when a person is on a gluten-free diet, but his\/her doctor is unsure of whether or not the patient has celiac disease (CD). Genetic testing can resolve this question if celiac genes (HLA DQ2 and DQ8) are absent. If celiac genes are present a gluten challenge may be needed. In this case, gluten is reintroduced into the diet and after a period of time (ideally 6 to 8 weeks if the challenge can be tolerated for that long) blood tests and an intestinal biopsy are performed. If the gluten challenge is not tolerable for the full 8-week period blood tests and biopsy can be performed sooner but this can lead to a false negative result. People with confirmed CD do not need to have a gluten challenge .<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Note that patients should ONLY undergo a gluten challenge if instructed to do so by their doctor. Patients who have been following a gluten-free diet should not reintroduce gluten into their diet without talking to their doctor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Are there helpful mobile apps to find gluten-free items and restaurants?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes!\u00a0 They aren&#8217;t perfect, but definitely helpful.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.findmeglutenfree.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Find Me Gluten Free<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.bradclouser.glutenfree&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gluten Free Food Finder<\/a><\/li>\n<li>More ideas: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glutenfreeliving.com\/gluten-free-foods\/shopping-gluten-free\/top-10-gluten-free-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Top 10 Gluten Free Apps<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Are there lists that help identify which brands are gluten-free?<\/h3>\n<p>Verywell.com (&amp;
