We’ve all heard of gluten.
We’ve heard that it can be bad for us, not bad for us, mildly bad for us, etc. But what is it really and what does it actually do?
Gluten is a mixture of proteins found in many grains, processed foods and commercial drinks that contain two specific proteins called gliadin and glutenin. Now, some people know they are sensitive to these, either severely or only mildly, but there are many more who actually are sensitive and experiencing reactions without knowing what’s causing it.
For anyone sensitive, these can cause specific inflammatory responses throughout their body, most of which they never connect to the gluten they consumed. It can cause stomach aches and IBS.
It can create a constant swelling of the stomach that we may confuse with excess body fat. So we try to exercise it off, but without any results as it isn’t body fat, it’s swelling caused by an inflammatory response.
When it gets into our blood stream it can affect any part of our body where it lands, or our whole body, as it will create an inflammatory response wherever it goes.
