"Please tell me what is gluten. Also, can you tell me why is it bad for you? Is it really true that so many people are getting sick on gluten?"
My reply: What is it? Gluten is a protein found in the grains of wheat, rye and barley. It makes the dough sticky. It helps glue the bread and cakes together so they don't crumble.
Why is it bad? For most people, gluten does not cause any problems at all. But, in about one-in-ten (10%) of the population, gluten does cause a large range of symptoms. It is the cause of the gluten syndrome: in my experience, any chronic ill health problem should be checked to see if you have a gluten-sensitivity. People getting sick from gluten is a huge health problem. When gluten damages the gut it is called celiac (coeliac) disease.
Gluten is bad for you if it is causing you to have poor health. Some people have symptoms that are debilitating. If you are experiencing ongoing health problems, then get a blood test to check out gluten. Recommendation: You can find more in-depth information in the book -
