What is gluten ?
For some people, gluten can be problematic. It is the cause of celiac disease, a chronic autoimmune disease of the intestine. 600,000 French people are affected by this disease, which manifests itself with severe digestive symptoms. In addition to this, some people may be sensitive to gluten without having the condition, but still experience similar symptoms.
The benefits of eating gluten-free
For those diagnosed with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, eliminating gluten is essential to avoid symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating and nutritional deficiencies. Even for people without these conditions, adopting a gluten-free diet can have benefits:
1. Improved digestion: Reducing processed foods high in gluten can improve digestive health by promoting a more natural, less processed diet.
2. Increased Energy: Some find they feel more energetic and less tired by eliminating gluten from their diet.
3. Reduced inflammation: For those suffering from certain conditions, a gluten-free diet can help reduce inflammation.
4. Resolving health conditions: Gluten-free products can be effective in resolving various health conditions, including digestive, joint, neurological, psychiatric and dermatological.
