Gluten Free Products available in India

Celiac disease is a digestive disorder that occurs in reaction to gluten, a protein found in rye, barley, wheat and oat. 

As, Indians having its main food wheat, it is difficult to decide what to eat. There are many stores in Delhi NCR which provide Gluten free products. Thanks, to all those store owners who decided to do so.

I want to take an initiative to approach, all big brands, to tell us what all products are Gluten free in their production houses.

I mailed to PepsiCo India asking about the Gluten Free products in their Manufacturing. I really thanks Ms. Simi Mehta for sharing this information as below.
