Gluten-Free-Sandwiches

Gluten, contained in cereal grains, especially wheat, can harm your health in several ways. Excessive consumption of this protein can lead to stomach pain, constipation, fatigue, diarrhoea, bloating, gas, etc. It consists of two types of protein, gliadin and glutenin. The gliadin part mostly affects people. The sticky and elastic nature of this protein misleads the immune system to believe that it is some sort of foreign invader, like a bacteria, when it reaches the digestive tract.

People suffering from the coeliac disease are highly sensitive to gluten. Their immune system attacks the gluten and an enzyme in the cells of the digestive tract called tissue transglutaminase. Therefore, coeliac disease is classified as an autoimmune disease. So gluten is a complete no-no for patients with this condition. They need to be very mindful of what they eat and make sure that gluten doesn’t sneak into their meals in any form. They are required to avoid everything that contains wheat. So the sandwich is the first thing that they have to sacrifice. But hey, hold on! You don’t have to give up on your favourite food altogether if you make some smart choices.
