Living With A Gluten Free Diet
Wheat intolerance is also known as gluten intolerance
. Gluten is the main protein ingredient of wheat, rye and all of their derivative forms. The number of people who have gluten intolerance is considered to be underestimated, because of the fact that the symptoms that manifest with this condition are manifold.
Wheat intolerance starts out by causing the villi lining the intestinal wall to wear out. This comes as a reaction of the antibodies in the blood to the presence of gluten. Perhaps in an effort to prevent gluten from being absorbed into the blood, the antibodies destroy the villi. These are microscopic hair-like structures that cover the walls of the intestine entirely and they are responsible for allowing nutrients entry into the bloodstream.
Intolerance to gluten causes the antibodies of a person to react by attacking the villi of the gut. Everytime a person has a reaction to gluten, the villi are damaged and the absorption of nutrients into the blood is not done effectively. The first result of wheat intolerance is therefore weakening of the body, malnutrition and poor health. In addition to that, wheat intolerance has some side effects on the heart, the liver, the nerves and other organs of the body. This is the reason why gluten sensitization can become a system disorder akin to diabetes, in which all body organs are eventually affected if the condition is allowed to continue.
Instead of the foods he will need to avoid, he should be given alternative meals containing food which will provide him with the nutriments he lost by refraining from gluten-rich menus.
Your nutritionist will know the best carbohydrate and protein sources to replace wheat bread with. You can also find such lists on the internet. Completing the switch from gluten-loaded to gluten free in your diet shouldn't be difficult to do.
Rice is one of your best options for carbohydrates. However, the amount of rice eaten in the diet should just be enough to support your daily activities. Beans, corn, lentils, corn and coconuts are ideal sources of vegetable protein. The addition of fish and some meat completes your diet perfectly.
Lately, people have developed a special method of processing wheat that produces no wheat intolerance. The product is not really just wheat bread because 5 other ingredients are combined in it, including beans and lentils. By simply washing the raw ingredients thoroughly, all the substances that stimulate gluten intolerance reactions are eliminated from the product. Some people like to call the new food 'Bible bread' because reference to this method of making bread is made in Ezekiel 4:9.
Taken from the nutritional point of view, this type of bread, called 'Bible bread' by many people, is excellent. Its protein content is nearly as high as the best protein food items like egg and milk. Besides having all the amino acids required for health and growth, this bread is also complete as far as the vitamins and minerals it contains is concerned. A person can very well survive quite healthily on it alone and it is one great way to get started on dieting for preventing wheat intolerance as well as for improving health.
