Wheat is One of Top Food AllergensLiving with wheat and gluten intolerance need not be difficult if you manage to replace this important complex carbohydrate with other fiber-rich foods. Along with other allergens such as peanuts, tree nuts, milk, fish, shellfish, eggs and soy, wheat is listed in the top eight food allergens. What is Gluten?Gluten is a protein found mostly in wheat which will be released naturally during the process of milling grains (wheat, barley, rye and oats). Gluten is a cheap bulking agent used in mass food manufacturing and this is where grain flours obtain their elasticity and strength. What is Gluten Intolerance?Gluten intolerance is associated with the disease called “gluten-sensitive enteropathy” or “celiac disease.” It happens if your immune system responds abnormally to gluten, which is a part of wheat and some other grains. This abnormal immune system response does not involve IgE (or immunoglobulin E) antibody. Hence, this food reaction is more appropriate to be classified as food intolerance rather than food allergy. Our body immune system does not cause the symptoms of food intolerance. However, these symptoms can look and feel like those of a food allergy. When a coeliac (or celiac, person suffered from gluten intolerance) consumes gluten in foods, their intestine tend to create an immune response to the gluten (which is treated as an invader or foreign body). The lining of the intestine becomes inflamed and this affects the absorption of the nutrients that is vital for health. This eventually leads to weight loss and malnutrition.
