Why it works

  • Celiac disease: Gluten-free flour blend and no wheat anywhere else: peanut butter, butter, sugar, egg and plain chocolate kisses.

Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
