Wheat Gluten

Definition of Wheat Gluten

Wheat gluten, or gliadin, is a protein responsible for the elasticity and fluffy texture of baked goods. However, for individuals with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, or inflammatory or autoimmune symptoms and disorders, consuming wheat gluten can cause damage to the intestine and trigger symptoms such as:

Abdominal pain
Diarrhea
Extra-intestinal symptoms such as fatigue, allergies, migraines...
Among others

For this reason, we recommend removing wheat and other cereals in the 3R Immunonutrition Protocol.

Gluten-Free Diet

A gluten-free diet is one that excludes any food or ingredient derived from cereals such as wheat, barley, rye, oats, corn, rice, sorghum, millet, and teff, as they contain gluten—a protein that can be difficult to digest for the intestine, where 70% of the immune system is located.

Obesity

Obesity is a medical condition in which a person accumulates excess body fat that can have negative effects on their health, including increasing inflammation levels and predisposing them to chronic non-communicable diseases.

Leaky Gut

When your meals are high in foods that are difficult for your intestine to digest, it becomes inflamed and permeable, allowing poorly digested food particles to pass through, which can cause overall inflammation.
