What Is Gluten Intolerance?

I would always see a lot of food products promoting that they are Gluten-free

. And based on research, gluten free foods relate to the Celiac disease is relatively new to me. This has got me curious as to how they relate to each other.

I just learned that gluten is made of protein, and are found in foods processed from wheat and some similar grains like specific food groups that make up breads, cakes, biscuits, pastries, pie crusts like pizza, regular pasta and malted drinks. These are food that contain or are made from wheat, rye and barley.

With further investigation, I learned that Celiac disease is another term for Gluten intolerance. This is why the disease is prevalent to people of Northern European descent.

Before we proceed on what can be done, lets check first on what does a non-gluten-free food do to someone who has a Celiac disease? I found out that the immune system produces an excess of a certain antibody once it detects gluten entry. The antibodies then attack the intestinal walls, and slowly kill the villi lining on the walls of the intestine to ideally absorb the food nutrients digested; however, as all villi gets worn down, the body will lessen the ability to absorb all nutrients. Therefore leads to malnutrition and other ailments.

These can cause the following symptoms to the Gluten intolerant, potentially leading to gastrointestinal cancer:

Diarrhea, Nutrient Loss, Stomach swelling and other Gastrointestinal symptoms

Unwanted weight loss

Mild weakness

Bone pains

For those diagnosed with Celiac disease, there seems to be no known cure or medication as of yet, but to just simply avoid taking gluten type food products. Always check the label if its indeed gluten-free, if not, just select from any of the easily accessible everyday gluten-free food types below:

Fresh meat and poultry

Fish

Vegetables

Fruits

Eggs

Nuts

Cheese

Beans

Rice

Yoghurt

Selected vinegar and soy sauce types
