What to know about barley
Barley is a gluten grain, so people often ask if barley is safe on a gluten-free diet: it is not. It carries the same gluten problem as wheat plus a heavy fructan load, which is why barley in soup, barley malt in cereals and the barley behind most beer can quietly set off both coeliac and IBS symptoms.
Watch for
- Contains gluten, so barley is off-limits for coeliac disease and non-coeliac gluten sensitivity, the same as wheat and rye
- Very high in fructans, a FODMAP that ferments in the gut and commonly causes bloating, gas and cramping even in people with no gluten issue
- Hides in plain sight as barley malt, malt extract, malt vinegar and beer, so a "wheat-free" label does not mean barley-free
