So what is gluten and why is it bad?What does it do to people doe
Gluten is basically the protein content of wheat (including spelt, semolina and durum) barley, rye and triticale (a hybrid).
Known collectively as prolamins, these proteins have different names depending on the grain they are found in...
- gliadin in wheat,
- secalin in rye
- hordein in barley
Attack! Attack!
These particles are seen as alien invaders by the body, and are therefore attacked.
Due to its autoimmune nature, Celiac disease also attacks the body itself, causing inflammation and damage to the inside of the small intestine.
The normal small intestine features small hair like projections along its length known as villi. These increase the surface area and therefore assist in the absorption of the nutrients that the body needs to stay healthy. The following photo represents these healthy, upright villi.
The celiac autoimmune response causes so much damage to these villi (in some cases flattening them entirely) that they are no longer effective, as represented by the following photograph.
However, all is not lost! Changing over to a gluten free diet will allow your body to repair itself, and your health will improve tremendously.
What is gluten and does anyone need it?
Guten is not an essential part of anyone's diet.
Our hunter/gatherer ancestors managed perfectly well without it! Then they started growing and harvesting cereal crops.
They discovered that they could grind wheat into flour, bread soon became a staple food. Over the years we have incorporated more and more of it into our daily diet.
In fact some quite surprising foods are found to contain gluten when we start thinking about it!
Cakes and cookies are perhaps obvious, but what about soups and sausages?
