Question: is it bad for you or something..


Answers: is it bad for you or something..

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. About 1 in 133 people can't tolerate it and have what is called celiac disease. The only treatment for celiac disease is a strict diet to avoid gluten, hence gluten free products.

Gluten is like wheat or flour or any type of starch. People with celiac disease are allergic to gluten so they must eat gluten-free products. It's only bad for you if you are allergic to it.

Gluten is a protein in wheat, rye and barley. And for a small percentage of the populatino, its virtually poison. For the 1 in 133 ppl with Celiac Disease, it cannot be digested by our bodies so we suffer a multitude of symptoms and horrible consequences.
