Gluten is a protein in certain grains such as wheat, rye, and barley. This protein causes negative reactions in the small intestine and results in symptoms varying from stomach pain to nutrient malabsorption. Gluten can make people’s stomach very sensitive. The protein gluten contains sticky, elastic properties. When the gluten reaches the digestive tract, the immune system can mistake the gluten is a foreign object, like bacteria.
Some people can be diagnosed with an allergic reaction to gluten. This is called celiac disease. Celiac disease is when a person is extremely sensitive to gluten. Celiac disease causes people’s digestive systems to attack the gluten. While the body is attacking the gluten the body also attacks enzymes called tissue transglutaminase, which is essential for the digestive system to contain. Celiac disease restricts people from eating any form of gluten in order to protect the digestive system and enzymes. It is understood that gluten free foods are very difficult to find.
