Read the labels!!!!

So you know all those words on labels that know one knows what they mean, like Tritcum vulgare. It means WHEAT people!!! (or other gluten enemies) Why these companies feel a need to be sneaky is beyond me, but here is a link to Dr. Oz's website that has a list of these words that, if on a label, you can't eat. http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/gluten-glossary-what-watch

Also, keep in mind that gluten can be found in things like soap, make-up (lipstick), hair products, and many other items that would knock your socks off.  Assume that gluten is in every product that you use, and check the label first. Depending on your sensitivity level, this may or may not be a big deal to you. Also keep in mind that labels have to tell you if the product was made in a facility that also makes products that include that wheat. Again, your sensitivity level is what will determine how far you take the gluten free changes in your life.
