What is Gluten?

Gluten is an amalgamation of plant-derived proteins available in products containing wheat and several other products containing barley or oats. Gluten is accountable for making the flour sticky and firm to make cakes, breads, crusts, and host of other eatables.

When they ingest the protein, an immune reaction occurs in the small intestine, ruining its lining. The intestine become flattened and exhibits numerous symptoms encompassing gas, diarrhea, and bloating, weight loss etc. Hence, items like pastry, beer, pasta, rolls and others are eliminated from the diet of people with celiac disease.

People suffering from gluten sensitivity may also encounter ‘dermatitis herpetiformis’, an itchy, blistering skin disorder. In addition, it is speculated that people with Autism may be at risk by gluten, so a diet free of the gluten protein may offer respite to such population.
