For many people, food is simple. Eat what you like and move on.
But for people with celiac disease, food is not simple at all. It is stressful. One small mistake can make them sick for days.
Celiac disease is not a trend or a diet choice. It is a serious health condition. People with celiac disease cannot eat gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. When someone with celiac disease eats gluten, their immune system attacks their own intestine. This damages the gut and stops the body from absorbing nutrients.
The problem is not just bread or roti. Gluten hides in many foods where people do not expect it.
The Hidden Problem with Everyday Foods
Most people think, “I don’t eat bread, so I’m safe.”
That is wrong.
Gluten is often present in:
-
Sauces
-
Ketchup
-
Vinegar
-
Ready-made foods
-
Preservatives and thickeners
Many brands add thickeners, modified starch, artificial vinegar, or flavor enhancers. These ingredients may contain gluten or be processed in factories where gluten contamination happens.
For someone with celiac disease, even tiny traces of gluten are enough to cause:
-
Stomach pain
-
Bloating
-
Diarrhea
-
Fatigue
-
Skin problems
-
Long-term gut damage
This is why people with celiac disease spend hours reading labels. Even ketchup becomes risky.
Why Most Ketchup Is Not Safe
Traditional mass-produced ketchup focuses on shelf life and low cost. To do that, brands add:
-
Corn syrups
-
Artificial thickeners
-
Preservatives
-
Cheap vinegar
These ingredients are not always clearly labeled as gluten-free. Some vinegars are made from grains. Some thickeners are processed alongside wheat products.
The result?
A product that looks harmless but is not safe for someone with celiac disease.
This creates fear. People stop enjoying food. Children feel restricted. Families struggle to find simple things like a safe ketchup.
What Gluten-Free Actually Means
Gluten-free does not mean “almost safe.”
It means:
-
No wheat
-
No barley
-
No rye
-
No cross-contamination
-
No hidden additives
For celiac patients, gluten-free is not optional. It is survival.
