    Celiac Safety Glossary

    Gluten
    Gluten is a family of storage proteins (prolamins and glutelins) found naturally in cereal grains like wheat (including varieties like spelt, kamut, and farro), barley, and rye, which acts as a binder to give food elasticity and shape.
    Avenin (Oats)
    Avenin is a protein found in oats that is structurally similar to gluten. While most celiacs can tolerate pure, uncontaminated oats, a small percentage of celiacs react to avenin itself.
