However, cutting out gluten from your diet may feel difficult as gluten is found in many commonly used foods and often hidden in packaged or processed items. Thankfully, there are many healthy and delicious natural gluten-free foods that can help you enjoy a balanced diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Gluten\"><\/span><strong>What is Gluten?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gluten is a protein in food that maintains the shape, elasticity, and moisture of food. It is present in many foods from bread and cereals to snacks and some beverages. Gluten is a protein that is indigestible by our body. In some individuals, gluten consumption may cause inflammation, leading to certain health conditions. Gluten has a glue-like sticky property that gives a chewy texture to the food<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/28244676\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Gluten_Harmful_to_You\"><\/span><strong>Is Gluten Harmful to You?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No, not all people are allergic to gluten. Some people can eat foods containing gluten without experiencing any side-effects<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7075003\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2<\/a> <\/sup>while others may have gluten intolerance or intestinal disorders in which gluten can be harmful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intestinal conditions like coeliac disease or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may require some individuals to start a gluten-free diet. Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disorder where gluten may irritate your small intestine lining, causing over-activation of the immune system, which leads to damage of the gut wall<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/celiacdisease.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, some individuals without intestinal disorders are also sensitive to gluten and may feel uncomfortable after eating gluten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote doc-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Natural, gluten-free foods include grains, beans, seeds, and other starchy foods such as arrowroot, beans, cassava, chia, flax and gluten-free oats, millet, almond flour, sorghum, soy, and tapioca.

By choosing naturally gluten-free foods (like fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins), you help the small intestine to heal. This repair likely leads to better nutrient absorption, which in turn may help boost energy levels, stabilise weight, clear up the digestive system, and improve the health of your skin and bones, thus helping enhance your overall vitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"References\"><\/span><strong>References<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Biesiekierski JR.
