However, there’s good news. You can enjoy all kinds of gluten-free breads, and they’re just a couple of clicks away at Netrition. Here’s what to know about eating bread on a gluten-free diet.
Why Go Gluten-Free?
Gluten is a protein found in wheat. You might need to avoid gluten if you can’t process it. These are some reasons to avoid it.

Some people simply find that they feel better when they don’t eat wheat or gluten.
Foods With and Without Gluten
The foods that you can’t have when you can’t process gluten are the ones containing wheat or wheat flour. Most breads and pasta, as well as grains such as barley, couscous, and bulgur, are off limits.

When thinking about other types of gluten-free flour that can be used in baking or that can be an ingredient in gluten-free breads that you want to buy, almond flour, soy flour, chickpea flour, and lentil flour are a few options.
