....as cister has previously stated it is those products that contain wheat eg flour, some emulsifiers etc. Celiacs do not break down these products in their system correctly and can get sick so they need to avoid them. Read the label of the products and visit a web site that gives you a comprehensive list of items that are considered to contain gluten.

Gluten is a mixture of plant proteins occurring in cereal grains, chiefly corn and wheat, used as an adhesive and as a flour substitute.So, its like when you take a paste of corn used to stick the ingredients of something together. I would think a tortilla would constitute a gluten, considering its a paste of corn (for a corn tortilla) or flour (for a flour tortilla).Most glutens are just part of the process of making the food, but dont constitute the final product. (There arent many foods you eat that consist of a gluey paste of corn. But may use it to hold everything together till the final product is created by cooking the mixture.)Hope that helps.
