Then you haven't read and don't understand fully the concept put forth by Breaking The Viscious Cycle 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.


You are still giving very dangerous advice. As I said above, gluten is not a carbohydrate it is a protein . It will not show up as a carb on your product label. There are many places where it is included in low carb replacement foods such as wheat gluten in bars and shakes. Gluten that celiacs are sensitive to is not in all starchy foods it is only in wheat, rye, barley and contaminations from oats.

Really you should not give this advice without learning more because it is irresponsible and dangerous to people who have this disease.
