Food manufacturers like using gluten as an additive in prepared foods. Gluten is used as a stablizer, an emulsifier, a thickener and flow agent in literally hundreds of processed foods, from soups to self-basting poultry.

Usually not recommended. Most emulsifiers are synthetic surfactants, which make the intestines permeable. Celiac patients have already increased intestinal permeability, so synthetic emulsifiers worsen it. The only exception is lecithin which is not synthetic and doesn't make the intestines permeable.

Although E 433 (Polysorbate 80) is gluten free, it is not recommended to consume with celiac. This emulsifier makes the intestines permeable. The increased intestinal permeability is a major problem in all autoimmune diseases.
