Going gluten-free has become a popular trend, but for some, it's a necessity rather than a choice. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It gives dough its elasticity and helps bread rise and maintain its shape. While many enjoy gluten-containing foods without issue, some individuals must avoid gluten due to health concerns.
Who Needs to Avoid Gluten?
Celiac Disease: An autoimmune disorder where ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. Symptoms can include severe digestive issues, anemia, fatigue, and more.
Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity: Those who experience symptoms similar to celiac disease but without intestinal damage.
Wheat Allergy: An allergic reaction to proteins found in wheat, including but not limited to gluten.
Benefits of a Gluten-Free Diet
For those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, a gluten-free diet is crucial for health and well-being. Benefits include:
- Improved Digestion
- Increased Energy
- Enhanced Nutrient Absorption
Getting Started with Gluten-Free Eating
Read Labels Carefully
Gluten can hide in many foods under different names. Look for labels that specify "gluten-free" and check ingredient lists for hidden sources of gluten, such as malt, modified food starch, and hydrolyzed vegetable protein.
Eat Naturally Gluten-Free Foods
Many whole foods are naturally gluten-free, including fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, and poultry, dairy products, legumes, nuts, and grains like rice, quinoa, and millet.
Gluten-Free Alternatives
There are plenty of gluten-free versions of common foods like bread, pasta, and snacks.
