Why it works
- Celiac disease: Gluten-free pita is clearly identified, with no other grain products or sauces in the dish.
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.
