Gluten is a protein present in wheat, rye, and barley. This protein, wheat in general, has been genetically modified to produce stronger, more efficient crops. A number of people have a sensitivity, intolerance, or allergy to this protein, gliadin, and can manifest a wide variety of symptoms when consumed. Not only is this part of these grains, but it can also be present in other types of foods as a secondary ingredient or from cross-contamination.

The main symptoms are usually gastrointestinal, such as diarrhea, constipation, gas, and colic. There can be some nonspecific presentations that are also due to eating gluten. Some people can present with neurological issues, seizures, autism, joint pain, hair loss, changes in metabolism that can lead to weight issues, thyroid problems, fatigue, among others

How can I make a substitution that will help me avoid gluten? Eat food that is specially prepared without wheat, barley, or rye, but that may contain flour from other foods rich in nutrients. It is possible at home. However, maintaining excellent quality in gourmet gluten-free dishes is no easy task. You can enjoy breakfast, salad, soup, starters, fish, chicken, beef, pasta, and even desserts with peace of mind while you enhance your health.
