How many times have you heard, “You are what you eat.”? Seems like more and more these days we are owning up to this statement particularly when it comes to food allergies and gluten sensitivity. You see, it doesn’t always take a major trauma or life threatening illness to encounter aches and pains, irritable bowel syndrome, respiratory ailments such as arthritis, obesity, migraines, and skin disorders. All of these ailments can simply be a result of food and gluten sensitivity.
By now, you’ve certainly heard a lot about gluten in particular and how many people (including Oprah)who are now opting for gluten-free diets. I haven’t been able to escape the high dollar gluten-free frozen entrees that grace my small town’s grocery freezers.But the bottom line is if my small town grocery is carrying this stuff by the loads, well then, there must be some logical reason. Well, there is. A diet full of gluten can be deadly to some. People that suffer from Celiac disease are unable to digest gluten.
Gluten is a protein found in most cereals and breads. It comes from grains such as rye, wheat and barley used top make these and other foods. Gluten helps give bread its elasticity, giving it that chewy texture. It also provides gases that help bread rise before it is baked. For these reasons, it is widely used.
