Gluten is a type of protein found in grains like wheat, barley, and rye. Especially for Celiac patients and those with gluten sensitivity, the digestion of this protein leads to serious health problems.
Who Should Eat Gluten-Free?
A gluten-free diet is not just for those who want to lose weight, but a way of eating that should be preferred by people with a medical necessity. Those experiencing bloating, chronic fatigue, and skin rashes can try this diet under doctor supervision.
Things to Avoid
- Wheat flour, bread, pasta, bulgur, semolina.
- Ready-made sauces, processed meats (sausages, salami), and some instant soups (flour may be used as a thickener).
Gluten-Free Alternatives
You can meet your carbohydrate needs from naturally gluten-free sources such as rice, corn, buckwheat, quinoa, and potatoes. Additionally, it is quite easy to prepare healthy breads at home with almond flour or coconut flour.
