Oatmeal
What could be unhealthy about a steaming cup of oatmeal? If you’re gluten sensitive, turns out it can be a lot. Most oatmeals, including instant and those that you get at Starbucks and McDonald's, are likely to contain gluten, says Dr. Morrison.

Steel-cut oatmeal prepared the old-fashioned way on the stove is in the clear. Other seemingly healthy grains — barley, rye, and spelt — all contain gluten and can lead to bloating and constipation and make it harder for you to absorb all those vitamins and minerals from all those truly good foods you’re eating.
