This site was put together in hopes of educating people on the best lifestyles and recipes available based on a Gluten Free Diet.

Gluten is defined as: A substance present in cereal grains, esp. wheat, that is responsible for the elastic texture of dough.

 

What is a Gluten Allergy?

Between 0% and 1% of the United States population suffers from celiac disease. Celiac disease is quite serious as it results in abnormal immune responses to gluten. Due to this people with celiac disease must maintain 100% gluten free diets. This makes eating a bit more challenging for this minority or people who have the most severe gluten allergy. Note that you can be gluten intolerant or have a gluten allergy without actually having celiac disease so please, if you can not properly digest gluten, do not jump to the conclusion that you must have this disease. Only a doctor or geneticist can make that determination.

Now, we have reached the conclusion of this article. A lot of information has been imparted and I think we have had a fun time with it as well. Naturally, gluten intolerance and gluten allergy are not laughing matters but we need to approach all topics with a certain levity I do believe. The main point is that we have gone a long way in answering the question that we started with. What is that question, naturally I am talking about what is gluten!
