gluten free

Gluten is a protein naturally found in some grains including wheat, barley, and rye. It acts like a binder, holding food together.

Gluten provides no essential nutrient. Gluten can triggers an immune response and inflammation that damages the lining of GI tract for people diagnosed with Celiac Disease .Many people have a lesser condition called non-celiac gluten sensitivity and may feel better on a gluten-free diet.

• A gluten free diet is to avoid foods contain or made with wheat, barley, rye and spelt: eg.  bread, pasta, cereals, beer, cakes, cookies and pastries.
• On the gluten free diet you can eat many foods including meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, rice and potatoes.
• You can also eat gluten free substitute foods and processed foods that don’t contain gluten.

Many gluten free product are now well labelled and available at on-and-offline stores.
