Gluten-free Diet: Who Can Benefit From It?

Gluten-free diet is a kind of eating style that prohibits consumption of foods that contain what is referred to as gluten, a type of protein composite. Gluten is most commonly present in food items such as grains, wheat, cereals, rye and barley. One of its primary purposes is to maintain the elasticity of foods as they undergo fermentation during food production. For instance, gluten contributes to the chewiness of the bread and reduces the stickiness or dough-like texture of other foods.

However, for some people, consumption of anything that has gluten may lead to a variety of unpleasant and unhealthy physical reactions. Probably, the worse of these is called coeliac disease. Gluten is a culprit behind the inflammation of the small intestines of individuals with coeliac disease. When the small intestines are inflamed, they become unable to absorb essential nutrients such as vitamins and fiber. In effect, health problems like iron-deficiency anemia, osteoporosis, infertility, extreme fatigue, neurological problems and other autoimmune diseases may take place.

Only in rare cases that symptoms of coeliac disease may be observed. When they do, they usually include bone pain, anemia and diarrhea. There are 3 million Americans suffering from coeliac disease but because its symptoms rarely occur, around 95% of these coeliac patients are unaware that they have the condition.

Another illness that comes from the consumption of gluten is dermatitis herpetiformis. It causes adverse effects on the skin such as inflammation, redness, and irritation. Also, chronic and itchy rashes on the skin are most likely to develop. Furthermore, eating and drinking food items with gluten causes trouble in persons suffering from gluten sensitivity.
