| Gluten is the protein part of
wheat, rye, barley, and other
related grains. Some people
cannot tolerate gluten when it
comes in contact with the
small intestine. This condition is known as celiac disease (sometimes called non-tropical sprue or gluten sensitive enteropathy). There is also evidence that a skin disorder called dermatitis herpetiformis is associated with gluten intolerance. In patients with celiac disease, gluten injures the lining of the small intestine. This injury results in weight loss, bloating, diarrhea, gas, abdominal cramps, or vitamin and mineral deficiencies. When patients totally eliminate gluten from the diet, the lining of the intestine has a chance to heal. Removing gluten from the diet is not easy. Grains are used in the preparation of many foods. It is often hard to tell by an ingredient's name what may be in it, so it is easy to eat gluten without even knowing it. However, staying on a strict gluten-free diet can dramatically improve the patient's condition. Fortunately , we’ve gathered hundreds of gluten-free food products in one place to facilitate those with allergies to gluten, which is found in wheat, rye, oats and barley. Choose from already prepared goods or create your own gluten-free masterpiece with our large selection of gluten-free flour, broths, spices and condiments. |
