Why it works
- Celiac disease: Naturally gluten-free: real food only, with the stock called out gluten-free so nothing hidden sneaks in.
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.
