Gluten is found in many whole grains, including wheat and rye. Barley falls under this category which means it contains gluten. The amount on gluten found in one serving is around 5 to 8 percent, so it essential to avoid barley if you are allergic and also having celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.

Barley naturally contains gluten, so pay close attention to product labels and, if possible, test foods to make sure they are gluten-free, especially if you are celiac.

Barley is not gluten-free. Barley contains proteins that contribute to the formation of gluten. Therefore people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance should avoid it.
