Gluten is a protein found in some grains, wheat, barley and rye are most notable. Emmer, kamut and farro, too. Gluten can hide under pseudonyms, some are just other names for flour, some are ingredients made from gluten containing grains. Watch out for these:
Products Typically Made From Wheat
Unless these are specifically labeled “gluten free” or in the case of
tortillas “corn tortillas” these products are typically made with wheat
flour and contain gluten. Some corn tortillas will contain wheat flour,
so always check the label.

Pasta

Flour Tortillas
Matzo
Pita bread
Couscous (just a really small pasta)

Glucose (a sugar that can be derived from wheat. If you’re in the USA it’s usually not wheat based (it will say “wheat” on the label in the USA if it’s there.) It’s very processed and tests show a very low gluten level, but some people have reported reactions.)
Vitamin E (sometimes derived from wheat germ, even in beauty products)
Modified food starch (this is usually corn or soy in the USA and is gluten free. If it contains wheat, it must say “wheat” on the lable)
Tocopheryls (this means Vitamin E)
Natural Flavors (sometimes made from barley, especially in caramel)
Hydrolized Vegetable Protein (in many vegetarian meat replacements and shampoo)
Maltodextrin (this is usually from corn in the USA and must say “wheat” on the label if it’s made from wheat)
