❇️Gluten; A protein found in wheat, barley, and rye
⚠️Celiac disease, wheat allergy and non-celiac gluten sensitivity appear at this point.
❇️If we talk about them briefly,
✅Wheat allergy is the occurrence of symptoms such as breathing difficulty and congestion in the individual following the immune system's formation of antibodies against wheat.
✅ Although non-celiac gluten sensitivity does not cause any damage in the small intestine, symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, constipation are observed in individuals following the consumption of gluten-containing food.
✅ Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition.
In these individuals, gluten damages the inner surface of the small intestine and due to this damage, the absorption of nutrients does not occur.
✅Gluten-free diet is originally applied to individuals with celiac disease, and a strict diet is applied that includes many processes such as lifelong cross-contamination, paying attention to the gluten-free food label.
⚠️So it is not a process that can be handled with a short elimination diet.
📌Is a gluten-free diet healthy?
🤔 Before removing a food from our diet, we should decide by looking at its benefits and harms.

✅ Why not consume foods in this group that contain valuable nutrients such as thiamine, iron, calcium, fiber, niacin, folic acid, riboflavin⁉️

✅We should consume the products by evaluating the general nutrients
