According to research, nowadays, 1 in 100 people suffer from gluten intolerance. So it is a slightly “difficult” protein consisting of an insoluble fraction with components that are not absorbed by the veins of the small intestine, thus creating disorders, fortunately autoimmune, reducing the body’s ability to absorb nutrients. The positive side of this condition is that once you stop eating products containing gluten, the symptoms of gluten intolerance immediately subside.
However, excluding gluten from your diet entirely may have the opposite effect on your body, since the enzyme responsible for breaking it down should not be inactivated, but should learn to function properly in case it is needed. So all is fair!!!!
Gluten-containing foods are cereals/wheat/barley/ rye, less so oats, and their products, such as bread, pasta, breadcrumbs, rusks, nuts and other baked goods such as cakes or biscuits. Also, gluten can sometimes be found in certain types of chocolate milk or yoghurt with cereals or fruit and in certain types of sausages such as sausages, steak, tinned meat, some types of cheese such as Roquefort, blue cheese and cream cheese in general. As if the above is not enough to complicate our dietary choices, gluten can also be found in mayonnaise and commercial mustards and salad dressings, as well as in canned fruits, vegetables or legumes. This protein can also be found in certain juices or drinks with preservatives or additives, in beer and malt beverages, as well as in canned nuts or when they are caramelized or processed, and in certain gum, candies, candies, candy, chips, chocolates and some medicines.
Gluten-free foods, are natural yoghurt, cream, all types of meat, poultry, fish, eggs and most types of cheese, all fresh or dried fruit, all fresh vegetables, all legumes, rice, rice flour, potatoes, corn, corn oil, millet, unsalted nuts.
And because our lives may have been a little difficult with all these restrictions, several food companies have launched gluten-free products, enabling people with gluten intolerance to expand their meal choices. These products state on their packaging that they are gluten-free (GF).
Do you have a gluten intolerance and don’t know it?
For checked the following symptoms to see….
1.Abnormal function of the immune system. That is, specific antibodies contained in saliva and the gastrointestinal tract have an opposite effect on the immune system and so the body cannot prevent a cold or flu, so you get sick very easily.
2. Fatigue and exhaustion as a result of inflammation and redistribution of the body’s energy reserves.
3. Headaches and migraines
4. Muscle aches and joint pains
5. Reduced cognitive brain function
6. Sudden weight gain
7. Dental problems. According to a study in “BMS Gastroenterology” there is a direct link between gluten intolerance and a condition called “foamy stomatitis”, which leads to mouth ulcers. Poor absorption of nutrients due to gluten intolerance reduces calcium levels, which is essential for healthy bones and teeth.
8. Skin problems. Gluten intolerance often causes eczema, acne, and herpetic dermatitis. This is because the malabsorption of nutrients caused by gluten intolerance affects the skin and causes itching, redness, rashes, burning sensation, and blisters.
