What Is Gluten? Gluten is the protein found in wheat. Similar proteins which are harmful to Coeliacs are present in rye, barley and possibly oats. Wheat, rye and barley are therefore excluded from the gluten-free diet. Oats may be allowed for some patients, under careful medical and dietetic supervision. http://www.internethealthlibrary.com/DietandNutrition/gluten.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten http://www.vegsoc.org/info/gluten.html#furt That took me about 20 seconds, google is beautiful thing
