Gluten Free Life Is a Stress Free Life

What is Gluten?

Gluten is a term that has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, from Hollywood to normal people. Some of us may have heard about this term but today we are going to understand what it is. Gluten is found in grains, such as wheat, barley, rye, and a cross between wheat and rye called triticale. It is often the reason which leads to cause Celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which gluten triggers the immune system that damages the linings of the small intestine. In the long, it prevents nutrition from properly being absorbed. Gluten sensitivity causes some of the same signs and symptoms associated with celiac disease, including abdominal pain, bloating, etc.

People all around the world are trying a Gluten-free diet and some of them have already left it in the past. According to them, they have seen tremendous results in their life, they are healthier and more positive.
