Gluten &
GLUTEN INTOLERANCE (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten) Ø
Gluten
is an amorphous ergastic protein found
combined with starch
in the endosperm
of some cereals,
notably wheat, rye, and barley Ø
Gluten
is found in some cereals (e.g., wheat, rye,
barley) and
their end products. No gluten is contained in rice (even glutinous
rice), wild
rice, maize
(corn), millets,
buckwheat,
quinoa, or amaranth. Oats and teff do not contain
gluten, but are sometimes grown directly adjacent to, and/or milled on the
same equipment as, other grains that do contain gluten, and so are commonly
contaminated. Non-cereals such as soybeans and sunflower
seeds contain no gluten. Ø
Other
varieties of wheat such as kamut and spelt have slightly different forms of gluten. Many people
who are unable to digest gluten for non-celiac reasons are able to digest
these varieties. People suffering from celiac disease are advised to avoid all forms
of wheat. Ø
People
suffering from celiac disease have an intolerance to gluten and
must go on a gluten-free diet. Intake of gluten results in
damage to the mucosa of the small
intestine, and as a result normal digestion
becomes impossible. After avoiding
gluten completely, the intestine will return to functioning normally. Ø
People
with autism
and autistic spectrum disorders, like Asperger's syndrome, may be sensitive to
gluten and casein
(a protein in milk);
both seem to have an opiate-like effect on these people. The opioid effect of
gluten is caused by gluten exorphines and gliadorphin.
These are peptides formed in the digestion of gluten. See more at gluten-free, casein-free diet.
Another condition that may cause one to follow a gluten-free diet is dermatitis herpetiformis. bakery
