Introduction: What is Gluten?

http://www.freedigitalphotos.net/images/view_photog.php?photogid=2280

The term "gluten" technically refers to a specific complex of proteins that forms when wheat flour is mixed with a liquid and physically manipulated, such as in the kneading of bread. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to define the term "gluten" to mean the proteins that naturally occur in a prohibited grain (see below) and that may cause adverse health effects in persons with celiac disease.


Prohibited grains are as follows:

Wheat- meaning any species belonging to the genus Triticum

Rye- meaning any species belonging to the genus Secale

Barley- meaning any species belonging to the genus Hordeum

Crossbred hybrids of wheat, rye or barley- (ex., triticale, which is a cross between wheat and rye)


As we all know, eating out at fast food establishments with celiac disease, gluten allergy, or even a special gluten-free diet can sometimes be very risky and stressful. It’s always a guessing game as to finding out if your food contains any traces of gluten unless you ask one of the workers at your dining establishment. Well now you can eat with confidence thanks to the Gluten-Free Guide to Fast Food Restaurants. In here, you will be provided with a comprehensive list of foods and drinks that you can enjoy at most popular fast food chains in the United States and even some internationally. From burgers and fries to seafood and Mexican, we have them all. It is now time to eat with confidence!

Warning!

Although these restaurants provide gluten free menu items, they do encourage anyone with food sensitivities, allergies, or special dietary needs to consult with a medical professional for informed answers relating to their specific sensitivities and the risks involved when dining out. Also please be aware that some food will be in the presence of gluten items, such as in sandwich and delis, so please be advised and use caution.
