Wheat and seeds

Gluten in food can trigger the immune system in the body with celiac disease to damage the small intestine. So, for those of you who suffer from celiac disease, you should avoid certain foods that contain gluten. Grains are foods that usually contain gluten, but not all grains. Any grain gluten free and can still be consumed by people with celiac disease?

People with celiac disease must eat food gluten free

People with celiac disease have an abnormal immune system. His immune system cannot recognize gluten as a food substance. Thus, the immune system in people with celiac disease will react if gluten protein enters the body.

When people with celiac disease eat foods that contain gluten, the villi (small tissue) in the intestine can be damaged and cause inflammation of the lining of the intestine. This makes the intestine unable to absorb the nutrients in food properly. As a result, you can experience a lack of important nutrients your body needs. In young children, this can certainly interfere with their growth and development.

Seeds that people with celiac disease should avoid

Gluten is a protein that is usually found in whole grains (but not all), so it is difficult for people with celiac disease to choose which grains to avoid. You can't avoid all grains when you have celiac disease. Because whole grains are an important food source for the body. It contains carbohydrates, various vitamins and minerals, and fiber.

For those of you who have celiac disease, you need to know which whole grains contain gluten and which don't. So you don't have to avoid all grains. The following are the types of grains that people with celiac disease should avoid:

Wheat, including in the form of wheat flour (wheat flour, durum flour, flour, semolina, and farina flour), wheat bran, wheat germ,
Barley
Rye (rye)

It may be easy for you to avoid gluten from these grains. However, it will be difficult for you to know the presence of gluten content in processed foods. You may need to ask what the food is made of, from what flour, use any mixture, and so on when you want to eat processed foods, such as biscuits, cakes, cakes, dumplings, and others. Make sure the processed foods you eat are gluten-free or whole grains that contain gluten.

In fact, oats do not contain gluten and are not harmful to many people with celiac disease. However, usually the oat production process is in contact with or contaminated with wheat, from harvesting to processing in the factory (from the same tools). So, for those of you who suffer from celiac disease and want to consume oats, you should choose oat products that claim “gluten-free” or “gluten-free”.

Don't forget to always read the list of "ingredients" in the product packaging. Make sure the oat product or whatever you buy doesn't contain gluten.
