Gluten is a protein composite found in wheat and related grains, including barley and rye. Gluten gives elasticity to dough, helping it rise and keep its shape and often gives the final product a chewy texture. Gluten is also used in cosmetics, hair products, and other dermatological preparations. Individuals with celiac disease, consumption of gluten causes adverse health issues ranging from bloating, gas, diarrhea and vomiting to migraine headaches and joint pain. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects the digestive process of the small intestine. Non-celiac gluten sensitivity is a condition of immunological response to gluten that differs in nature to the immune response characteristic of celiac disease. People can also experience adverse effects to wheat as result of a wheat allergy. A gluten-free diet is the only way to rid yourself of the persistent symptoms found with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity and wheat allergies.
