Then you haven't read and don't understand fully the concept put forth by <U>Breaking The Viscious Cycle</U> by Elaine Gottschall. Her diet guide for the SCD specifically eliminates all products which include gluten. If you can't eat any carbs other than simple carbs, you won't be eating gluten. There is no possible way. Gluten is intrinsic to every grain based starchy food out there. Since you can't eat starch (period), you can't eat gluten. Starch is completely eliminated on the SCD.

I suggest that if you are celiac, you should take a look at this book. It does outline and specifically state the things you can and cannot eat. This does take into account contaminated grills, product ingredients, binders, fillers and other things. Her diet is based on whole real foods emphasizing single molecule sugars which are easy to digest over complex sugars which are very hard to digest. I guarantee her book covers Celiac disease through WOE.

More specifically, her diet manages Celiac through more than simple avoidance of gluten. Her book actually attempts to address the WHY of gluten intolerance and attempts to help heal the colon to allow for better tolerance in the future.

If you want to avoid gluten for the rest of your life, feel free. But, if you want a WOE that may, in fact, heal your intolerance 2-3 years down the road, then you owe it to yourself to take a look at her book.
