Gluten Free Foods Are Important For People Who Can't Digest Gluten
Gluten free foods are making their way to mainstream. Soon you will be seeing more and more gluten free breads, desserts, etc. which will be made from gluten free grains.
What is Gluten?
Gluten is a natural protein that is found in wheat, barley, and rye.
Gluten is one of the most complex proteins consumed by man and has a very large molecule that is hard for your digestive system to break down.
Problems will occur in your small intestine once gluten arrives.
Leaky gut syndrome and more serious allergic reactions can occur because gluten has the ability to rip holes in your intestinal lining.
Absorbing important nutrients from your food will be halted when you suffer from intestinal damage and this could lead to malnutrition. Malnutrition could then lead to contracting a disease.
The following grains can all be used when avoiding gluten. The more common grains are rice, corn, and pure oats. The more uncommon are tapioca, buckwheat, millet, teff, amaranth, sorghum, and quinoa.
Grains that contain gluten are wheat, barley, rye, and cross contaminated oats.
The following are all very popular wheat gluten grains and contain gluten. Wheat bran, wheat germ, wheat berry, wheat grass, durham, bulgar, couscous, udon, graham, spelt, semolina, farina, einkorn, farro, seitan and matza.
What are Common Gluten Intolerance Symptoms You can Spot?
If you are gluten intolerant you will likely experience skin rashes, itchy skin, headaches, irritability, gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, cramps, tingling and numbness. The longer term problems will likely be weight issues, depression, nutritional deficiencies, casein intolerance, irregular menstrual cycles, and slower child development.
Celiac disease is a very serious type of gluten intolerance and this causes your immune system to be triggered by gliadin which is a gluten protein.
The inflammation created by this protein will interfere with your small intestine's ability to function and absorb nutrients. The lining of your small intestine will be flattened from your immune system's response to this protein.
If you have Celiac disease, the odds are that someone in your family has it as well. This is a fairly common issue and without knowing about it you could become Diabetic.
If you want to eliminate this disease, you will have to eliminate all gluten containing foods and stay on a gluten free diet.
An Up and Coming Gluten Free Grain is the Quinoa Grain
Quinoa is high in protein and has a high content of the valuable amino acid lysine.
Usually grains do not have this important amino acid.
Lysine aids in the building of muscle tissue and the absorption of calcium.
Your body uses lysine to produce its hormones and enzymes.
Quinoa is considered a complete protein because it contains all eight essential amino acids.
Gluten Free Food Advice
Gluten free desserts can be created thanks to gluten free flours. You can make all the pies, cakes, and cookies you want, but I'd get educated about the gluten free flours first. You usually have to mix a few of them together to create the right texture.
Gluten free foods are some of the most healthy foods like whole dairy products, seafood, nuts, beans, fruits, vegetables, meats and poultry.
As you can see, gluten is primarily a problem when you consume grains and unfortunately the additives added to most processed foods contain some form of gluten. - 17268
