Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. Gluten is found in wheat, barley, and rye.
Identify the foods listed in the problem: whole wheat bread, barley soup, rye crackers, and rice.
Recognize that whole wheat bread contains gluten because it is made from wheat.
Note that barley soup contains gluten because barley is a gluten-containing grain.
Understand that rye crackers contain gluten because rye is another grain that contains gluten. Rice, however, is naturally gluten-free and is safe for someone with celiac disease.
