Diet for gluten free
Even 30 years ago, no one could have thought that after a while the whole world would go crazy with glutenfree products, a fashionable diet followed by many stars would appear, and the word gluten would become something forbidden and harmful. Gluten is a vegetable protein that does not dissolve in water. Many in recent years have developed a diagnosis of celiac disease (individual gluten intolerance). In this case, doctors prescribe a gluten-free diet. Watching their wards, doctors concluded that a gluten-free diet not only helps with celiac disease but also contributes to rapid weight loss and improves the overall well-being of a person. Many nutritionists have also taken note of the principles of a gluten-free diet.
Products that are prohibited in this diet are, first of all: bread, bakery products, pasta, wheat, barley, semolina and pearl barley, semi-finished breading, sausages, sauce, kvass, chips.
Allowed products: natural milk, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt (industrial products will have to be abandoned since flour is used in their production), vegetable oils, olive and coconut oil, fruits, vegetables, lentils, peas, beans, buckwheat, amaranth, quinoa, black and brown rice.
To determine the gluten content in a product at home is very simple: drop a drop of iodine on the product, if it contains gluten, it will turn black or turn purple.
Recently, many manufacturers have established product lines without the use of gluten, so be sure to read the label of the purchased goods.
Also, watch your drinking regimen – 2 liters. fluids per day, this is the minimum.
