Celiac Disease Diet – Foods to Eat & Avoid

Processed Meats

Processed meats can be a source of hidden gluten. Most meatloaves and meatballs, for instance, contain bread crumbs to provide a smooth texture and hold ground meat together. This ingredient can significantly increase the risk of celiac disease. The same holds true for lunch meats or processed deli meats. A good option is to prepare your own meat at home. Instead of using gluten-containing ingredients, replace them with eggs, potatoes, and other veggies to boost flavors and tastes. [5]
