"The synonyms for gluten are essential because when you're reading food labels, it's not going to say gluten free. In a perfect world that would be lovely, but that's not the case. As far as synonyms go, you're not just looking for words like wheat or gluten. You're looking for brand, cereal extract, malt, spelt, yeast, rye, couscous, flour, matza, semolina and seden. So, sometimes, people will look and see the word rye and just think oh okay, it doesn't have gluten in it. So, those are the primary synonyms for gluten. Just on a side note for instance, wheat; if you look and see that it says wheat-free; an item. You would think, okay, that's a synonym for gluten so, therefore, there must not be any gluten, but I have here; these are peanut butter cookies, that I have actually purchased from a health food store, which is the best source to go if you're getting gluten free foods; and it says here wheat free and gluten free and that's not redundant. Sometimes it can be wheat free and have tons of gluten in it. So it's really important when looking at your food labels that you're not just looking at synonyms for gluten, but you're actually looking at the word gluten-free. If it's not on there, don't be afraid to call the eight hundred number. I have yet to see a box that doesn't have one or a website of some sort; call them. They know about their product way more than the person in the store."
