The possibility of buying gluten-free foods is an advantage for many people with intolerance to this protein. At Your Spanish we have a selection of gluten-free foods, suitable for people with celiac disease, or who are looking for alternatives to traditional foods.
What is gluten and celiac disease?
Gluten is a complex protein present in cereals such as wheat, barley and rye; it is mainly composed of two proteins: gliadin and glutenin. In baking, gluten is essential to give elasticity to the dough, allowing the bread to rise and acquire its characteristic texture.
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease in which gluten consumption causes an immune response that damages the villi of the small intestine. This damage prevents the intestine from properly absorbing nutrients from food, which can lead to malnutrition and other health problems. Symptoms vary widely, from digestive disorders such as bloating and abdominal pain, to non-digestive manifestations such as fatigue, joint pain and skin problems, among others.
Although celiac disease is the best-known gluten-related disease, it is not the only one. There is also non-celiac gluten sensitivity, in which individuals experience similar symptoms when consuming gluten, but without the autoimmune damage to the intestine. Additionally, there are people with wheat allergies who should also avoid gluten.
For people with celiac disease, the only effective solution is to maintain a strictly gluten-free diet.
What are gluten-free foods like for celiacs?
Gluten-free foods for celiacs are those that do not contain the gluten protein. These products are essential for people with celiac disease, as their immune system reacts adversely to gluten, damaging the small intestine.
Naturally gluten-free foods include fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, eggs, legumes, nuts, and most dairy products. However, the food industry has developed a wide range of specific products for celiacs: from breads, pastas and cookies to sauces and other preparations, all formulated without gluten.
These products usually use alternative flours such as rice, corn, almond or potato, and they also have seals or certifications that guarantee their absence of gluten. It is crucial to read labels and ensure there is no cross contamination. Despite these adaptations, advances in the industry have allowed many of these foods to maintain similar flavors and textures to their gluten-containing counterparts, thus facilitating the diet of those suffering from celiac disease.
