What is Gluten?
Gluten is a protein found in many grains such as wheat, barley, rye, oat and triticale. Gluten is what makes a food chewy and gives bread it’s elastic quality.

Why Should You Go Gluten-Free?

You Have Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease where eating gluten causes your immune system to react and attack the small intestine lining. Over time, the damage caused by this leads to trouble absorbing nutrients after meals. Those with celiac disease typically need to eliminate gluten from their diet permanently. For those with Celiac Disease, removing gluten may improve their ability to take in nutrients, improving their bone health, hair, nails, skin, and ability to gain healthy weight. It may also eliminate symptoms such as gas, bloating and diarrhea.

You have a Gluten-Intolerance
Eating Gluten Free Foods can help with Gluten Intolerance. It is possible to be sensitive to gluten without having Celiac disease or other conditions. In this case, you might experience mild symptoms and could benefit from removing gluten from your diet. Unfortunately, the majority of people in the world are unaware of gluten sensitivity and remain undiagnosed.
You have an Inflammatory Bowel Disorder (IBD)
Eating Gluten Free Foods can help if you have Inflammatory Bowel Disorder. IBD refers to a family of bowel disorders such as Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis and unclassified IBD. Following a gluten-free diet may be necessary to eliminate symptoms.

There are a few other common reasons someone might want to switch to eating gluten free foods and buying gluten free foods online, besides an allergy.

Following a Gluten Free Diet can help you eat less processed foods. Products with gluten are usually highly refined, processed, and high in calories.
