Gluten-free means: no wheat, no rye, no barley. For people with coeliac disease this diet is medically necessary – for others it's a conscious choice.
Find Gluten-Free Restaurants →Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, barley and spelt. It gives bread and dough their typical texture. For people with coeliac disease – an autoimmune condition – gluten is dangerous: the body reacts with an inflammatory response in the small intestine, causing serious long-term damage. People with non-coeliac gluten sensitivity also struggle with gluten without the same immunological reaction.
About 1% of the population has coeliac disease – an autoimmune condition where gluten damages the small intestine. A gluten-free diet is the only treatment.
Many people without coeliac disease still experience symptoms like bloating, fatigue or stomach pain after consuming gluten – known as non-coeliac gluten sensitivity.
Some people choose gluten-free for personal reasons – feeling lighter, fitter or healthier. Personal experience speaks for itself.
