WHAT DISEASES DOES GLUTEN CAUSE?
Turkish Internal Medicine Specialist Prof. Dr. noted that gluten, which is found in many ready-made foods, as well as cereals, can be toxic and allergic to some people, noting the ailments it causes in the long term.
Gluten is a protein found in cereals such as barley, rye, especially wheat, and is a nutrient that makes a lot of mention in its name due to its association with various diseases today. Internal Medicine Specialist Prof. Dr. explained what is curious about gluten, which means sticky protein:
.
USED AS ADDITIVE
The genetics of cereals today, and especially wheat, compared to wheat consumed in very ancient times has been much played with and contains plenty of gluten. Pesticides used in the cultivation of cereals, many additives involved in bread increase the harmful effects of gluten. Gluten, which gives nutrients elasticity, fullness, shape, consistency, makes pastries light, crispy-crispy and crispy, is also used as an additive in almost all kinds of ready-to-eat foods due to these side properties in Turkey.
.
HOW HEALTHY ARE CEREALS?
Gluten, celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, and other autoimmune diseases, allergic reactions that can lead to leaky gut syndrome and the protein gliadin, as well as lectins, which leads to insulin resistance and diabetes, vitamin-mineral absorption, such as phytate, which reduces other harmful proteins. Grains have a high glycemic index and can have many toxic components.
.
BEWARE OF CELIAC DISEASE!
The most important disease caused by gluten is celiac. Gluten has a toxic effect on the mucous cells of the small intestine, so the body’s immune system activates and fingerlike protrusions called villi, which allow the absorption of nutrients, vitamins and minerals that exist in the small intestine, disappear.
With the disappearance of villi, nutrients, vitamins and minerals cannot be absorbed; chronic diarrhea, weight loss, delayed growth and development in children occur. The prevalence of intestinal involvement determines complaints. Sometimes anemia without complaints such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, gas; osteoporosis; liver lubrication; neuropathy, dementia, such as neurological signs and symptoms can be observed. Chronic diarrhea, weight loss, foul-smelling and fatty gaita are common in patients with widespread intestinal involvement. It is a disease that has no cure, but its solution is to stay away from all kinds of grains and foods that contain gluten.
