What is gluten?

Gluten is a family of proteins found in wheat, barley, rye and spelt. Its name comes from the Latin word for “glue,” as it gives flour a sticky consistency when mixed with water. This glue-like property helps gluten create a sticky network that gives bread the ability to rise when baked. It also gives bread a chewy and satisfying texture.

The gluten free diet has become very popular in recent times. Gluten does not have to be avoided by everyone. Most people can eat gluten without experiencing side effects. However, people with other disorders like wheat allergy and non-celiac gluten sensitivity also frequently avoid gluten.  Aside from an allergy, there are two main reasons why someone would want to avoid gluten .

1) Celiac Disease

People with celiac disease need to eat gluten free foods. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the body mistakenly harms itself. Celiac disease affects up to 1 per cent of the population and can damage the intestines.  Symptoms of celiac disease are Diarrhea, constipation, smelly feces, fatigue, skin reactions, depression, anxiety, unexplained weight loss, iron-deficiency, joint and muscle pain.

2) Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity

People who are classified as having non-celiac gluten sensitivity do not test positive for celiac disease or a wheat allergy. However, they still feel uncomfortable after eating gluten. Symptoms of non-celiac gluten sensitivity are similar to those of celiac disease and include stomach pain, bloating, changes in bowel motions, tiredness and eczema or a rash. However, non-celiac gluten sensitivity is highly controversial. Some experts believe this sensitivity exists, while others believe it is all in people’s heads. Symptoms of non-celiac gluten sensitivity are bloating, diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain, headaches, fatigue, depression, anxiety, pain and brain fog.

Mostly it is the elderly people who are intolerant to gluten. They should strictly follow a gluten free diet if they notice symptoms such as gluten intolerance, frequent diarrhea, chronic diarrhea, extreme fatigue, constipation, etc. When eating gluten-containing foods such as chapatis, bread, semolina they should undergo a 'food tolerance test'. They can avoid those foods that make them sick.

Those who are unable to eat foods  with gluten can use rye flour, corn flour, jackfruit flour, cassava flour, rice flour, and spinach seed flour instead of wheat flour. When eating out at restaurants you should ask which foods contain wheat. The costs of gluten-free foods are generally higher than the cost of the foods being replaced. The expense of following a gluten-free diet can be substantial, especially if your diet includes foods that aren't naturally gluten-free. You can talk to your doctor or dietitian about foods that would provide healthy, nutrient-rich alternatives.
