Many people consume gluten-free for reasons such as losing weight, being healthier, or for a fashion effect. In this week's article, I will talk about topics such as what gluten is, what it is found in, and who should not consume it.
Gluten is a protein. It may cause various harmful conditions in some people. For example; If you are experiencing diarrhea, bloating and gas problems, this may be due to gluten.
People who should avoid gluten; are celiac patients, wheat allergies and people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity. In fact, people with wheat allergies do not need to avoid gluten completely. It is possible to consume foods containing gluten, such as barley and rye.
People with such diseases and sensitivities should follow a gluten-free diet. Otherwise, problems such as intestinal damage, neurological damage, anemia, stunted growth may occur.
