Gluten Free Products
What Does Gluten Free Mean:
If you asked a friend five years ago if she or he avoided gluten, they probably have said, "Glu-wha?” But since then, Americans have nearly tripled their spending on gluten-free products. So what is it, and why the bad rap? "Gluten is a portion of a protein in wheat, and rye and barley contain similar proteins,” says Sheila Crowe, M.D., director of research in the division of gastroenterology at the University of California in San Diego. Many health-conscious individuals who know they may have some allergies to the Gluten in these products are already aware that through their doctors or even personal choice will steer clear of Gluten products. (Some believe gluten disrupts hormones and increases cravings and that shunning it will keep you slim and energized.) That means saying no to obvious suspects, such as bread, pasta and cookies, as well as to some surprising sources, like soy sauce and certain condiments. It's not easy, and in fact, it may be better for many of us to keep gluten in our diets. So before you bid yummy bread good-bye, find out if it's worth it for you.
Always check with your physician when in doubt or have concerns.
