Gluten intolerance.

In recent years, there has been a rise in the number of people who are gluten intolerant.

Gluten is a protein found in grains like wheat, barley, and rye, and can cause a range of symptoms in people who are sensitive to it.%naturopath central coast%

As a result, many people are now looking for gluten-free alternatives to their favourite foods.

But what exactly is gluten, and what foods contain it? Let’s take a closer look.

Gluten is a protein that is found in grains like wheat, barley, and rye. It is what gives bread its chewy texture and is used as a thickening agent in many processed foods. For people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, consuming gluten can cause a range of symptoms, including bloating, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.

Fortunately, there are now many gluten-free alternatives available for people who need to avoid gluten. 

These include gluten-free flours made from rice, corn, and other grains, as well as gluten-free bread, pasta, and other baked goods. 

With a little creativity and some careful label reading, it is possible to enjoy a delicious, gluten-free diet that is both healthy and satisfying.
