What is Gluten Intolerance?
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. When a person’s system “rejects” gluten, it is actually creating antibodies to fight the gluten protein. For many people, this sets up a cycle in which the body reacts to the antibody itself and/or manifests as damage to the small intestine. Celiac disease (also known as celiac sprue) is one form of autoimmune gluten intolerance. If celiac disease is not properly diagnosed and treated, numerous other conditions may develop, including anemia, bone disease, infertility and other gynecological imbalances in women, weight loss or gain, and others.
If you suspect you are gluten intolerant, you may simply wish to eliminate reactive foods from your diet, but beware – if you undergo testing after you have begun to avoid gluten foods, your test results may not be accurate. It’s also important to remember that not everyone who is gluten-intolerant develops celiac disease. Contact your primary care naturopathic physician to find out which test is best for you.
What to avoid if you’re gluten-intolerant
Wheat, spelt, semolina, durum rye, barley, kamut, triticale
Remember, many of these foods are hidden in ingredients like modified food starch, binders in supplements and imitation seafood, among others, so do your research and become a good label reader.
