What is "gluten"?
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and foods made from them. It gives dough its elasticity and helps it rise during baking. While gluten is harmless for most people, those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity may experience negative reactions when consuming gluten-containing foods. In these individuals, gluten can damage the lining of the small intestine, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and fatigue.
