Gluten is a protein complex contained in wheat, oats, triticale, barley and rye. In some cases, consuming anything rich in gluten can be a cause of different types of unpleasant reactions.
Some of the reactions are known as gluten intolerance, gluten sensitivity or non-coeliac gluten sensitivity.
The Gluten-Free Diet is a diet that eliminates all foods that contain gluten as a ingredient. It has been first used as a prevention for the types of reactions mentioned previously.
Nowadays it is included as a part of the training regimen of many professional athletes in numerous sports as well as many celebrities’ healthy lifestyles (from Novak Djokovic and Drew Brees to Rachel Weisz and Geri Halliwell).
Miley Cyrus accepted a gluten-free diet for her weight loss.
Lady Gaga allegedly cut gluten from her diet in an effort to lose weight.
