Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. If you are sensitive to gluten, you may have celiac disease. When you eat bread or pizza, for example, it may damage your small intestine’s lining over time. This damage prevents you from absorbing nutrients, and may cause symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting, constipation, weight loss, fatigue and anaemia.
While there is no known cure for celiac disease, a gluten-free diet may help you to manage the symptoms and even help your small intestine to heal.
We asked Bronwen Stokes, a registered dietitian at Pure Health and Bestmed Tempo wellness dietitian, for recipes of gluten-free treats. Here are three easy and delicious recipes to try.
