I have Celiac Disease and because of that I have to stay on a gluten-free diet. Gluten grows on the wheat plant so I have also told people that I am allergic to wheat products. A gluten-free diet is also a wheat-free diet. But gluten is also in rye, oats and barley.
no gluten wheat inn foods
No, legumes do not contain gluten. Gluten is found in wheat, barley, and rye.
A gluten-free diet is a diet that excludes foods containing gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat (including kamut and spelt), barley, rye, malts, and triticale.
Not exactly. Gluten is contained in wheat, but is also found in several other grains, including rye and barley. A gluten free diet is wheat free, but a wheat free diet is NOT gluten free. Most people are actually allergic to gluten, and not just wheat. If you are celiac, then a wheat free diet will not allow your intestines to heal, because you can still be consuming gluten.
Yes.
A number of new gluten free diet books have a section featuring quinoa. Some of these books include '4 Ingredients Gluten Free', 'Easy Gluten' and 'Your Wheat Free Gluten Diet Plan'.
Some good starch substitutes for wheat are quinoa, rice and potatoes. There are several cook books avaialable that have entirely gluten-free recipes, and most groceries have gluten-free products in their natural foods section.
Gluten free diets are important for those individuals who have an allergy to gluten. You might also follow this diet if you are worried about possibly having a wheat allergy. Otherwise, there is no advantage to this diet.
yes; gluten is only found (as I understand it) in wheat and grain type products.
Wheat contains gluten. They are the same thing- both are just as damaging. Rye, barley, oats (small amount), and several other grains contain gluten.
The protein called gluten harms the villi inside the intestine of people with Celiac disease, a hereditary disease that can only be treated by a wheat and gluten free diet.
