Many people cannot tolerate gluten in their diet. They experience symptoms which signify that the food eaten had gluten in it. People who cannot tolerate gluten should stick to a diet that is gluten-free otherwise these symptoms can turn severe. So what exactly is gluten intolerance and why people suffer from it? Medically there is another name for this intolerance and it is called celiac disease. If there is an auto-immune disorder in a person it leads to this disease and finally that person suffers from malnutrition. To put it across in a simple language, when your body is unable to process certain types of proteins it leads to malnutrition which can take a serious form.

People who suffer from gluten intolerance are the ones whose bodies cannot handle certain foods that contain protein. These foods are wheat, rye, barley etc. Our intestines have a micro hair like lining called villi. The function of villi is to absorb the food nutrients. When your body is unable to process proteins this lining dies. Thereafter your body finds it hard to process any type pf food. This leads to malnutrition which in turn triggers several other conditions.

Some of the early symptoms of this disease are gas, bloating etc which you will experience after eating. The reason may be there was gluten in your food. Gradually you may experience other symptoms like tiredness, dizziness, constipation etc. Later on as the disease progresses it causes severe problems like pain in your abdomen, numbness, headaches etc.

Another chronic illness that is similar is the leaky gut syndrome. The symptoms of

this condition can be bizarre which may even confuse doctors. When the linings in the intestines gets damaged it leads to this condition. This weakens your gut walls. As a result toxins, microbes and other waste material are passed into the blood stream which already has cytokines released by antibodies. All these materials mingle and gradually detoriate the gut walls. This leads to frequent stomach pains. Your body becomes unable to absorb the nutrients from food that you eat.

A lot of people suffer from this condition called leaky gut syndrome. Later on various other health problems and allergies crop up. The intestinal walls play an important role in digestion of food, absorption of nutrients and production of enzymes. Poor intake of food, improper digestion and high intake of antibiotics are some of the common reasons that lead to the development of this condition.

Candida is a genus of yeasts. Many species of this genus are endosymbionts of animal hosts including humans. Some Candida species have the potential to cause disease; it can cause infections in humans and other animals. The causes are mainly cultural, Candida overgrowth can happen when bacterial/fungal balance in the intestines. It’s a fungus that is the cause of many undesirable symptoms ranging from fatigue and weight gain, to joint pain and gas. Candida diet is the hardest, but it’s very important and crucial to eliminate the Candida and return to your health. Practitioners use diet to address the overgrowth of Candida, Candida treatment is a 3 step process. in very first process there should be a diet which consists of what to eat and what not to, and it contains detox methods, in next step diet will reintroduce with other items, most probably Candida will start leaving from the body. After completing two steps, you have hopefully detoxed your system and killed off most of the excess candid growth, you have to move long term diet plan. It takes four weeks for any improvement.

Constipation is common; in general population incidence of constipation varies from 2 to 30%. It refers to bowel movements that are infrequent and hard to pass. It’s a common cause of painful defecation. Constipation is one of the burgeoning problems of a city life. Most people suffer from it due to a stress life, symptoms are no bowl movement, Abdomen pain, constant headaches.

Constipation is more common in women and in people over age 65. There are different constipation remedies are available, such as natural remedies and

home remedies, In natural way take less fiber and make sure that more fluid consumption, fluid makes bowl movements softer and easier and be constipating..

Home remedies for constipation are drink some warm milk before you go to bed, drink warm water, warm lemon water, besides this make sure a sleep of 8 hours. Eat plenty of fruits. Only properly cooked vegetables should be consumed. Give up non-veg deep fried, dried fruits, cabbage, cauliflower and a few pulses like dhal because they may lead to gas and toxins.

Make sure that proper diet maintained in both Candida diet and constipation remedies to avoid side effects, it’s better to take early actions, consult the practitioner to get proper treatment.

Gluten is a type of protein present in many grains, majorly in wheat. This has a property like elastic. It helps to bind the flour together and gives the chewy feeling. When the dough is kneaded the elasticity offered is through the gluten present therein. It cannot be completely removed from the grains. But the maximum amount of this protein can be removed leaving that product named gluten free. This protein offers many good qualities to the bread made out of flour containing it like elasticity, absorbance, maintaining the shape of finished product etc. Like many other allergies of food particles, this protein also cannot be digested. This is called gluten intolerance. People suffering with this disease develop indigestion of gluten and this leads to various other diseases. This disease is inherited from family members or it can also be developed within an individual due to his/ her own body characteristics. Grains containing highest gluten are wheat, rye, barley which are also rich in fiber and has other really good quality. But people suffering from intolerance to this particular protein cannot

consume these otherwise healthy rich foods or consume them in processed form.

There are many other diseases related to this intolerance such as celiac disease, leaky gut syndrome etc. All these diseases have to do with damaged intestines and digestive system as the gluten attacks digestive system itself. The former disease is type of autoimmune, where the immunity system of a person attacks on body itself. The main reason behind this is the gluten. The later on is also due to consumption of this protein. In most of the cases this disease is left unnoticed, as there are no symptoms or external signs to detect this disease. This disease occurs mainly due to gaps and loose villi at the intestine. This finger like element at the internal wall side of intestine grabs food particles for digestion and passes digestible particles into bloodstream. In damaged state, indigestible particles also get passed into the bloodstream and this leads to various other serious problems due to presence of non- acceptable particles in blood. This state is called permeable intestines, which does not have any medical treatment as of now. But only precaution is better than cure. Consuming gluten free products as much as possible can put this phenomenon at bay.
