What is Gluten?
Gluten is a simple name for proteins that are found in wheat barley and rye. It maintains the shape of food and gives it an elastic-like structure. The word Gluten is derived from glue as it holds food together. Gluten gives the rise to the food while baking and makes it fluffy.
Issues Related to Gluten
Some health issues are caused by gluten which worsens the health condition. These include Celiac disease, Wheat Allergy, Non-Celiac Gluten sensitivity, Gluten Ataxia, and Dermatitis Herpetiformis. The major issue that most people face is celiac disease. Gluten triggers the immune reaction in the small intestine which damages the villi. This may lead to nutrient deficiency as damaged villi are unable to absorb the nutrients properly.
