1. Introduction
Gluten-free diet is a concept that is mushrooming among many diet sensitive individuals
across the US. Although many individuals have just joined the hype and trend, there is need to
understand all the areas of concern in regard to gluten diets (Snyder, 2015). Although it might be

Gluten refers to a specific type of protein contained in cereal grains including barley,
wheat, oats, and rye. Gluten can occur as either glutelins or prolamins types of proteins. Gluten
accounts for about 75 to 85% of proteins contained in the above named cereals, especially being

available in all wheat products including wheat soups, bread, roux, sauces, salad dressings, pasta,
and baked foods. Some bears also contain gluten proteins if developed from gluten-related
products.
