Der häufigste Grund für eine glutenfreie Ernährung ist eine ernsthafte genetische Erkrankung namens Zöliakie, die durch eine Unverträglichkeit gegenüber Gluten gekennzeichnet ist, einem Speicherprotein, das in Getreide wie Weizen, Gerste, Roggen und Hafer vorkommt... Gluten, das eine toxische Wirkung aufweist, stört die Absorption von Nährstoffen aus der Nahrung.
What are the symptoms of celiac disease?
The most common symptoms, if any, are diarrhea, weight loss, weakness, abdominal pain, bloating and vomiting, and even growth retardation in children. Other symptoms may also be less common, such as anemia, osteoporosis, lack of menstruation, vitamin and mineral salt deficiency.
What is a gluten-free diet?
First of all, we have to learn to recognize gluten-free products. This is facilitated by European Union regulations that require manufacturers to inform consumers about, for example, the minimum gluten content in a product. Processed products are also considered gluten free, where, according to the FAO/WHO, the content of gluten does not exceed 20 mg per kg, and is an international sign of cross-sectional strawberries. On the other hand, naturally glutenless products are: corn, rice, potatoes, wheat, maize, cornmeat, tapioca, manioca, lentils, beans, sorghum, sago, teff and all their ingredients, despite the fact that they can be grown without gluten, as well as soybeans and fruits.
