Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, oats and their derivatives. Some people are found to be sensitive to gluten and show mild symptoms of intolerance such as chronic diarrhoea and vomiting. Celiac disease is associated with an allergic reaction within the inner lining of the small intestine. The linings of the small intestine are destroyed by inflammations caused by the immunological reaction with gluten. Also Read - DIY homemade gluten-free all purpose flour recipe

Gluten-free products have been around for years catering to people suffering from celiac disease. However, the demand has now widened beyond medical needs. As many people think gluten-free diets are healthier and are giving up gluten to lose weight. It s basically a fashion. Another common belief that gluten-free diets are healthier (and a growing availability of alternative loaves of bread and grain products) is also driving the trend. Gluten-free products have turned from being medicated products for gluten intolerant people to a lifestyle choice. Gluten-free foods are gaining popularity partly because manufacturers and marketers are aligning new product developments with other emerging trends in the food market. These trends include the use of plant proteins and grains like quinoa. Here is everything that you need to know about quinoa.

There are many celebrities who follow fad diets for weight loss and people are just following them without knowing the medical reason. People want quick fixes, and diets are frequently used as a quick fix for issues. There are many restaurants and caf where gluten-free foods/dishes are available, and people are following that thinking it s a low fat and healthier. But that is not true a gluten-free dish may contain a lot more butter or oil, and that is not healthier. It is always better to consult a qualified dietician or nutritionist before starting a diet.
