what foods contain gluten?
Answering the question, “what foods contain gluten” isn’t as simple as a black and white answer. The following is a comprehensive list of foods that contain gluten. The list is broken up into two major segments – Foods that absolutely contain gluten, and foods/food ingredients that may contain gluten.
This list can be used as a guideline for those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease. Many items listed below are traditionally considered safe. However, it should be noted that many of the traditionally safe grains have been studied to cause and to contribute to damage yet they continue to be recommended by the
gluten free food industry.
The difference between a traditional gluten free diet and the TRUE gluten free diet can be found in
this video tutorial.
avoid these foods
*These grains are classically considered gluten free, but are not recommended on a TRUE gluten free diet. If you would like to learn more about why these other grains should be avoided,
watch this video.
*** These items are technically not grains, but are at high risk for cross contamination and not recommended on a TRUE gluten free diet unless verification can be obtained. These pseudo cereals are also very high in glutamic acid and should be discouraged as substitutes for patients with neurological symptoms.
Alcoholic Beverages That Contain Gluten
- Beer
- Malted beverages
- Grain based spirits (many claim that distillation removes gluten…Gluten Free Society recommends avoidance regardless)
food additives or processed foods that can contain gluten
Many of the terms below are commonly found in processed foods. The terms are ambiguous and have multiple meanings. For example,
modified food starch can be sourced from wheat, corn, and potato. Most of the time the label does not differentiate this information openly. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you call the manufacturer to confirm that they are not made from grain based ingredients before attempting to consume them. It should also be noted that regardless of gluten free status, many of the ingredients below are simply not healthy, and you would do better avoiding them anyway.
- Artificial Colors
- Artificial Flavors
- Baking powder (commonly contains grain – wheat or corn)
- Bouillon cubes or stock cubes
- Candy may be dusted with wheat flour. Check our gluten free candy guide
- Canned soups – Most are not acceptable.
- Caramel color and flavoring
- Cheese spreads & other processed cheese foods.
- Chocolate – may contain malt flavoring.
- Cold cuts, Wieners, Sausages – may have gluten due to cereal fillers.
- Dextrin
- Dip mixes
- Dry roasted nuts & honey roasted nuts
- Dry sauce mixes
- Extenders and binders
- French fries in restaurants – Same oil may be used for wheat-containing items.
- Gravies – check out thickening agent and liquid base.
- Honey Hams – can be based with wheat starch in coating.
- Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate
- Hydrolyzed plant protein
- Hydrolyzed vegetable protein
- Hydroxypropylated Starch
- Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt – check all dairy products for added ingredients.
- Instant Teas & Coffees – cereal products may be included in the formulation.
- MSG and Spices – may contain gluten.
- Maltodextrin (wheat or corn based)
- Maltose
- Mayonnaise – check thickener and grain based vinegar ingredients
- Miso
- Modified food starch
- Mustard – Mustard powder may contain gluten
- Natural Colors
- Natural Flavors
- Non Dairy Creamer
- Oil, frying – Check for cross contamination or corn based oils.
- Poultry and meats – Check out the flavorings and basting and inquire about meat glue
- Pregelatinized starch
- Seasonings (check labels)
- Smoke flavors
- Sour cream – May contain modified food starch of indeterminate source.
- Soy Sauce
- Textured vegetable protein
- Vegetable gum
- Vegetable protein
- Vitamin supplements (different brands contain grain based ingredients – check the labels carefully)
Green Drinks
Many people want to use wheat, barley, rye, and oat grass (not the seed) as a supplement in the diet. These grasses are commonly found in “green drink” shake products.
Technically, these do not contain gluten as they are the grass part of the plant. However; it is recommended that these be avoided to prevent the possibility of cross contamination. Go here if you are looking for a
grass free greens drink.
Non-edible items that may contain gluten
- Stamps & envelopes
- Toothpaste
- Lipstick
- Hairspray & Shampoo
- Detergents
- Pet Food
- Medications & Vitamins
- Lotions
- Play-dough
- Makeup
Research has identified that
gluten from mother’s diet passes into her milk, therefore if her breastfeeding child is gluten sensitive he/she may react to mother’s milk.
A majority of gluten sensitive individuals do not tolerate milk or dairy based foods. The staple diet for commercial dairy cows is grain. Whether or not glutens from feeding cows grain crosses into dairy is still in question and has not been adequately studied. Some research shows that dairy can be very problematic to those who already have gastrointestinal inflammation.
Additionally, some research shows that processed dairy (using the enzyme
microbial transglutaminase) actually triggers a gluten-like reaction in those with gluten sensitivity.
That being said, common sense of the obvious should supersede the decision to use dairy. Gluten Free Society recommends avoiding dairy for at least 6 months. Beyond this, it is recommended that any dairy in the diet comes directly from pasture fed cows if any at all.
- Meat glue
AKA – microbial transglutaminase. Several researchers have pointed out that dairy foods processed with this enzyme may contribute to intestinal permeability (leaky gut) and cause gluten-like reactions.
- Lactase deficiency
Lactase, the enzyme that breaks down the sugar, lactose, found in dairy is commonly found to be low in those diagnosed with celiac disease. This deficiency contributes to dairy intolerance and symptoms of gas, bloating, and indigestion.
- BCM-7
A protein found in A1 milk which has been linked to increases in intestinal inflammation, digestive symptoms, and the development of autoimmune disease.
- Molecular mimicry of gluten – Research shows that casein proteins found in dairy can mimic gluten leading to similar inflammatory damage and symptoms. This discovery has spawned the gluten free/casein free (GFCF) diet.
- Added hormones – A number of researchers believe that many of the hormones found in dairy may contribute to the formation of breast, endometrial, and prostate tumors.
- Added gums Often times used as thickening agents in dairy products, some gums can be difficult to digest for an already damaged intestinal tract. Additionally, research has shown that some gums may also contribute to inflammation.

Interview with Dr. Rodney Ford – Part 2
*NOTE – there is no such thing as a complete comprehensive list of food items that contain gluten. Manufacturers regularly change their ingredients, mislabel, have product recalls, etc. This is why Gluten Free Society’s stance is to avoid processed and packaged foods as much as possible as well as to avoid eating out as much as possible. You cannot control the mistakes or
ethical considerations of others.

So basically, you have taken away all the cereals and cereal substitutes! Are you proposing a diet of only proteins, ftuits and vegetables?
Saretta,
I have taken away nothing. I am just the messenger. You are correct in your analysis however that the primary recommendation in meat, vegetables, and fruit.
WOW talk about shooting the messenger!
I personally am so thankful you are sharing your knowledge especially about a subject as elusive as gluten “issues” and relevancy in my life. I suffer with extreme pain from morning through sleep throughout any and all movements. I have spent mega $$$ on many a snake-oil remedies all to little or no-avail. I am 71 and have been able to continue to live within a very minimalistic approach to eating but unknowingly am still consuming some foods that may be aggravating my unknown cause, and am hopeful your information will give me the results I am looking for.
Unlike the responder who thinks you are taking away from her, I look forward to taking out of my diet those things that are taking away my ability to walk, to enjoy being active in life. She has no idea what having no life due to pain 24/7 can take away from her. When we are young we are so impervious to all the poisons the manufacturers are putting in out “food” . Thank you again for sharing your knowledge, Bless you
You are very welcome!
All the best,
Dr. O
Yes exactly its great though almond flour bread or cassava flour tortillas are great! Try it youll feel so much better!
What ARE we allowed to eat??? On your plan?
signed,
Frustrated
Grass fed grass finished meat, wild caught fish, organic vegetables (most of them) and organic fruit and berries (most of them) and eggs (from the right healthy no grain fed chickens) and drink clean RO water with added electrolytes from Dr Osborne.
It’s really plenty!!!! Focus on what you can eat and you will be blessed! Just skip everything packaged or boxed or in any container.
I have a very high metabolism and Hashimotos. I must have some carbs. You can not put everyone in a “one size fits all” diet, without causing more misery. I’ m speaking from experience, are you?
The info presented speaks into a specific condition, not a specific condition paired with other conditions. That being said, you can get plenty of carbs (starchy and otherwise) from most fruits, carrots, potatoes, beets…and root veggies really, cassava flour, tapioca starch, arrowroot powder, honey, maple syrup and many more. They may not be the carbs you WANT, or possibly you just don’t want to research or actually make the changes, but there’s plenty of resources out there to get gluten free carbs. I suggest changing your thinking from look at what I can’t have to look what I get to have. It helps and yes, I speak from experience from multiple conditions.
My almond milk contains vegetable gum,
.I live in Australia & would love to know what milk I can drink with my coffee??
I am a 60+ year old man. I eat this way. I’m never hungry. I eat as much as I want to eat. My diet is very interesting and very varied and quite simple to prepare. I have the body, energy, and sexual function of a 25 year old athlete. I can work outdoors in the Florida summer heat all day long. And I fall asleep in less than 2 minutes and sleep like a baby, and wake up before the alarm, fully rested and raring to go! Jan, this stuff works.
This is just a funny comment, not a criticism…. I always thought the statement, sleep like a baby was sort of goofy. My breast fed babies were awake every 2-3-4 hours at night. I personally don’t like being awake for an hour every 2-3-4 hours & am very glad my babies are now grown well beyond that. I now sleep through the night quite well. I do know what you mean by that statement, though, Ronald & I’m glad that you are so healthy & sleep very well.
Maybe Ronald never wad up at night with babies?
The following is for all well-meaning people who tell those with severe illness and food issues not to feel as they do or to cheer up.
Also, seriously, for people with grave illnesses and no answers to tell them to be happy and ignore anxiety is not listening as well as being insensitive. Several years ago I had to be on a very restricted elimination diet — and I’m kosher and a vegetarian — it’s really hard and scary when we just don’t know what might make us extremely sick. Once my husband accidentally bought something on the “bad” list and I was so sad and defeated because he just doesn’t know what it’s like.
And also, please be aware that suggesting that people just eat organic, or unprocessed, or etc., means that you are probably at least middle class and 1) have health insurance, 2) don’t live in a food desert (Like I do), 3) can afford in time or money the kinds of food that you suggest.
Most people I know with these types of illnesses have to be vigilant so the thing that is supposed to make them healthy or feel good won’t do the opposite.
I share your sentiment. Bravo Ronald

Looks like air is still okay. There are supposedly those monks that can live off of air.
Synthroid contains cornflour, so if you need a thyroid supplement, ask your doctor for medication that doesn’t contain wheat or corn products.
I now only buy herbs and spices from the heath food store, as they don’t have any of the food additives that you recommend to avoid.
Tirosint is a gluten free synthroid mrdication. Ask your Doc for that. I take it.
This is daunting news. I just recently started following this on facebook. I can’t imagine just eating fruit, vegetables, and meat. I like those but there has to be something I can substitute.
Plantains ( cooked or (mix with coconut milk and fruit to blender), Plantain flour , bread fruit flour, possibly tapioca, cassava and arrowroot flours are what I have researched. If you don’t take care of things it can go into autoimmune and tremendous illness. Just jump in and retrain.
Nate, I eat the Dr Osborne way. I have so much interesting food and variety that it’s astounding. In addition to eating “just” fruit, vegetables, and meat, my wife bakes me bread, makes delicious waffles, I get ice cream, I drink mocha, milk, coffee, once in awhile I have a hard apple cider. I get cheese, jerky, nuts, delicious and interesting salads. Nate, all this can be done with educated ingredient selection, alternative food sourcing, and food prep. I feel like I eat like a king!
I’m just getting to know the reason of being so sick for over 10 years, so far things are better because of the knowledge on gluten free product.thank youi so much for the time you are givingon that matter.
Ok, Dr. Osborne, I didn’t mean to imply that you personally were responsible! Sorry if it came across that way. I was just very surprised to see things like quinoa and amaranth on the list. Have been watching your video on the health matrix and it is very informative. Thanks for all you are doing!
Don’t know what your IgE showed, but I was allergic to both wheat and amaranth. I find that there is amaranth in a lot of “gluten-free” items.
Jan you will feel so much better without dairy, grains and yes the almond flour
Tortillas are the best, now at Costco along with taco chips, Sieti brand also
They have taco seasoning. It is hard to mark changes but so worth it if you stick to it.
No offense taken Saretta 🙂
I am glad you are here and getting educated on this very important topic.
Have a great day!
Dr. O
Am I right in assuming you think it safe to eat wild rice and legumes such as beans and pulses?
Diane,
Yes from a gluten free perspective, those foods are considered safe. However; I do not recommend them as staple foods in a healthy diet. I will be posting a video on this topic very soon.
All the best,
Dr. O
I’m now wrestling with the oxalate toxicity issue due to eating plant based for 8 years.
Gluten is an issue as well. It’s a lot get a handle on.
What about flours from things like chestnuts or garbanzo beans? I’m hoping they are ok, since I don’t see either on your list.
What about Xanthan gum?
Xantham gum.grows on corn. Those who are allergic to corn avoid it.
I see poultry on there. Why? I don’t understand that. Also, baking powder…what baking powder do you recommend then?
Poultry are fed grains and corn. You eat what the animal eats.
I would think if you could find grass fed poultry it would be ok??? Would have to be grass fed AND grass finished (grass fed animals can be fed grains at processing facilities so need to watch out for that as well).
Thanks so much for all your valuable updates.
I did not see sorghum and tapioca listed as cross-links. Most people are not familiar with the issue of cross-links. The November issue of Celiac.Com’s Journal of Gluten Sensitivity has a great article on gluten testing and Sojorgen’s disease.
I lived in Tuscan for 20 years and have translated most of the traditional Tuscan recipes to gluten-free.The Italians require a test before children enter school and are inventing a gluten-free flour because they eat so much bread and pasta.
The Gluten-Free Topanga Chef
Would it be possible for you to give me a date or issue number on that article? I have sjogrens and now developing painful gut. Also am vegetarian so I get much of my protein from grains.
My daughter is gluten free, msg free. However, she just had a MRI and it said she has Scheuermann’s Disease. Does this have anything to do with eating gluten her first 23 years of life? The reason we had the MRI done is because she said she has floating ribs that go out of place and she has a hard time breathing. She goes to the chiropractor puts them in place and then a day later they are out again and breathing problems again. Her pulse rate is 49. She exercises every day but over the last 4 months she has not been able to exercise; she is 26 years old. Any suggestions….There is no doctor that has been to help us.
HI Theresa, a few years since you posted … other forms of treatment for your daughter to consider include oesteopathy, feldenkrais and homeopathy. Hope she is progressing. xx Leela
I know the original post was a long time ago but I recently heard what you are describing as a possibility of parasites. She could test to eliminate that as a factor.
Sarah,
I harvest & make wild organic Black Walnut Hull Tincture, using potato Vodka it’s a broad spectrum pathogen killer.Anti-Microbial, Anti-Bacterial & Anti-Viral. I was losing my birds all the time with what they call Black-Head, which is actually black feces, they’re bleeding from their intestinal tract. They were picking up a protozoa from the soil & killing them.
The Black Walnut Hull Tincture put an end to that, eggs are not effected like big pharma toxins, which you can’t consume eggs for two weeks or more.
I haven’t lost any birds to pathogens in over 15 yrs. now. Just predator’s, hawks, coyotes, foxes, domestic dogs.
We all take it, people, our dogs & birds, we’re all healthy with Gluten Free diet, no sickness, or infections of any kind, I can’t remember the last time anyone even had a cold.
The biggest problem we have try & deal with is the multiple hybridized petroleum toxins being dumped into all of our foods now. I want these vile people & toxins out of all of our foods. They’re killing people & the underlying cause of most all diseases.
All petroleum by products are always Neurotoxic & Carcinogenic, years ago I asked chemical scientists, How do you remove the neurotoxic & carcinogenic effects of crude oil? Their answer, We can’t we don’t have the technology as of yet. But still deemed edible & legal by pocket puppet politicians, all without a degree in Toxicology. Real smart vile greedy tree monkeys, Our healthy lives mean nothing to them, if you’re not sick we can’t make money from you.
“Daughter”- IMHO Chiropractic approach is the correct avenue but you also need to ensure the chiropractor has an holistic approach- Restricted diet is the key to allow the body to heal and drinking 2 to 3 litters of water daily is critical to rebuild that cartilage between the ribs. (Water is the only liquid she should be drinking). Total Posture is very key too.
Certain brands say they are gluten free but are not truely, what brands are safe? What should we eat?
What about this company? Do you think they are ok?
http://www.bobsredmill.com/gluten-free/
Not sure about gluten, but glyphosate has been found in Bob’s Red Mill
Bob’s Red Mill is terrible. They have ingredients that are definitely not gluten free in their “Gluten Free Flour”. They have Sweet White Rice Flour, Brown Rice Flour, Potato Starch, Whole Grain Sorghum Flour, and Zantham Gum. I will not purchase from them ever again. I used to trust the Gluten Free Label, but Dr. Osborne woke me up to that label. They are still allowed to have up to 20 ppm in their products and they can be called gluten free. This needs to be changed. We need to alert our government people to change that.
Does anybody have a recipe for gluten-free bread that has no rice, sorghum or buchwheat flour? Or is bread altogether out of the question?
Do a Google search of paleo breads, there a plenty. Against All Grain & Elana’s Pantry are good starts.
My son has epilepsy and celiac and autism. As part of his treatment he eats a ketogenic, gluten-free diet. We use Almond flour and Coconut flour as our only substitutes, and occasionally milled flaxseed.
I contacted Bob’s red Mill. they were very kind and let me know they clean their conveter belts but cannot promise things are not cross contaminated.
Michelle, Simple Mills Flour has an Almond Flour Artisan Bread. The only thing is that you need to be careful about too much Oxalates. I also have a recipe for bread that I am going to try and I will let you know how it turns out. I just need to find eggs from chickens who are not fed corn.
Here’s another reliable resource. If you have an official diagnosis, they also offer a tax deduction for the extra money you spend on GF food. Save your receipts!
Celebrate today: US Senate Resolution 550: National Celiac Awareness Day September 13, 2012
Audrey, who offers a tax decuction for the extra money I spend on GF food? You say “Here’s another reliable resource” What is the other resource? Where can I get more information? Thank you.
Are potatoes and potato starch and flour safe?
For gluten free bread recipe google flaxseed bread. Made with 2 cups of flaxseed meal and 1 cup of ground blanched almonds…a couple of eggs, good pinch of salt and a little water to make it into a runny dough ( a couple of table spoons of olive oil too). Pop in a 180c temp oven for around 25 mins or until it feel firm to touch.
Also google rancid flaxseed. Exposing flaxseed to heat will quickly make it go rancid.
Hello, I wonder can anyone tell me if chestnut flour and tapioca are safe?
Yes. They are both safe 🙂
I have had to give up all grains but I seriously need to gain weight and I am not at all sure that I can do so on a low carb regime – have you any advice about weight gain??
Cherie, Avocado & nuts helped me gain.
Thank you very much for replying to my question, I have learned so much from this site and I am very grateful.
It is nice to see that I am the only one who is about to give up on eating. I have celiacs,GERD,pre-diabetes and depression. I have been very good about watching my wheat cossumption. But,I still have diariha,depression,GERD,muscle spasms,light headedness burning stomach the list goes on and on. I already feel like I can’t eat or drink anything now they want us to cut out corn,rice and lactose. What does that leave to eat? I ate 4 flaky biscuts spent the next 6 hours on toilet also vomitted up the buscuts just like I ate them,so eating wheat isn’t something I am going to rush out and do. I just want to feel better!
Dr Osborne,
I understand from a well known researcher that not only the items you mention but coffee, sesame and chocolate as well as yeast, MAY also cross react with gluten due to molecular mimicry. Do you find this is so?
Olive,
Yes – I have seen this correlation clinically in many patients. I would not limit the list to only coffee, chocolate, and sesame. I would add to it many other legumes and seed based foods.
To clarify my question about coffee, sesame and chocolate, I don’t mean that these foods may be cross contaminated with wheat. I refer to the claim that the actual amino acid sequences are similar enough that the antibodies may misrecognize them for gluten peptides.
The Cyrex array 4 lab test cleared up some mystery for me. Yes the proteins in those foods can be read as gluten in some people. I found to my surprise Soy was fine yet Yeast, specifically Saccharomyces cerevisiae which is also in wine and apple cider among other things. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharomyces_cerevisiae
For heavens sake. Are we over analysing this issue. Paleo Diet – grass fed meat, fish, fruit, veg, nuts, fermented/unpasteurised milk. eggs . Food our bodies were made for…. It’s not rocket science…
I disagree about fermented milk. It didn’t work for me! I’m gluten, dairy , tomatoes , potatoes, peppers and eggplants free and I feel much better. The vegetables that I mentioned have Lectins.
I just took those same things out of my diet and I feel so much better. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplants used to really make me sick. Also, onions, garlic. So glad to see that it wasn’t in my imagination, like some in my family thought…..
I am new to the group and am learning so much from the blog. What food list are members referring to?
It is on the page above these comments: https://stg-gfsociety-testing.kinsta.cloud/guidelines-for-avoiding-gluten-unsafe-ingredients-for-gluten-sensitivity/?unapproved=684333&moderation-hash=672389c5480126621513a024674c75f9#comment-684333
I am trying to figure out if there is a connection between gluten and my husband’s eczema on his fingers. Do you have any information on this? Also, if a person lives entirely gluten free, do they suffer from malnutrition?
I noticed oatmeal on the list; my research and stomach say its not gluten. If I eat gluten I’m in immediate pain and feel like I can’t breathe
And yes, fruits, vegetables and meat is about as safe as you can get! I dont bother with all of the *gluten free substitutes and I dont miss anything. Pain free is better than pizza or a cookie.
🙂
It has also been found that flavoured potato chips have gluten. It is used to glue the flavour (barbecue, onion, whatever) onto the chips. And because it isn’t officially an ingredient, it doesn’t have to be declared on the label.
So, only plain chips are safe…… but of course are not good nutrition.
Potato chips have another evil threat: acrylamides (from heating starches to really high temperatures). These can be carcinogenic.

Hello!
I was recently told by my naturopath that I have a 2.9% chance of developing Celiac. Is that high?
We also did a food allergy test and most of my intolerances (kidney beans, string beans, mushroom, sugar cane) are in the 1/6 column (1 is very low and 6 being extremely high). Only almonds is in the moderate 3/6.
Is that even something to worry about? are we overreacting?

To clarify the previous post: are we overreacting by going sugar free, gluten free, string/kidney beans free (forever)? is 2.9% chance even that high? (the lab labeled it as moderate genetic risk from HLA DQA/DQB genotype – positive for DQ2).
Dede,
You are not over reacting going gluten free. The foods may or may not need to be avoided long term. Depends on the status of your gut. Leaky gut is often times a cause for developing food allergies.

my mother-in law raises chickens and they feed them wheat. Do you know if it would be safe to eat those eggs if you are gluten intolerant? Just curious.
No, chickens fed wheat is no safe. Whatever your meat animals eat is in the muscle tissue that you eat. From personal experience (8 yrs gluten free + MANY food allergies), ANY meat animal that is fed wheat/grains is not safe for me. I can only eat organic, pastured beef and chicken, and wild-caught fish (farm-raised fish are usually raised in extremely dirty conditions; and overseas, they often raise chickens above the water, and the fish eat chicken stool almost exclusively. If that doesn’t make you sick just thinking about it, nothing will! Make sure any fish you buy is a U.S. product, or all bets are off!) Pork in particular really makes me sick, because grains are pretty much all they eat. There is no such thing as grass-fed or “pastured” pigs, because pigs don’t eat grass. I’ve also discovered that NON-organic pigs (and even some beef cows) are often fed all kinds of stuff the farmers can find that’s cheap, including outdated candy, baked goods, and other unsold stale foodstuffs they buy up from factories, If that is allowed by state law, because pigs will pretty much eat anything.

I have some friends who are gluten-free. I have had the celiac test and do not have celiac disease. I have SOME kind of sensitivity and don’t know what it is. have GERD and UC and never had problems with bread before I developed those. Now wheat and dairy bother me (but not across the board, I can eat Finncrisp rye crackers with Havarti cheese and have no reaction at all for instance…and most especially the combination of wheat/milk, so for example I can’t eat any wheat cereal with milk anymore, makes me miserable for hours). Oatmeal with flax bothered me the other day but doesn’t always bother me. I can’t figure out what specifically is bothering me. I can’t imagine what kind of gluten-free inexpensive diet I could get my kids to eat, and the idea of preparing separate meals is not economical or feasible in terms of time. Every time I try to research the issue, I hit these walls of money, time and just too much information out there to be able to sort it all out. Not to mention the limited number of foods, as between the UC and GERD, doesn’t seem like there is anything I can eat except for…chicken and potatoes!?

Does plain boiled white rice, starch drained out contain gluten.
Please give a straight answer. Its too confusing.
Yes.
