Gluten constitutes a complex protein matrix comprising gliadin and glutenin fractions, naturally present in the staple cereals cultivated in Poland, including common wheat, rye, and barley. Its inclusion is indispensable in baking processes, as it confers upon dough the necessary resilience and cohesive properties to bind ingredients effectively. Nevertheless, despite these functional advantages in food processing, gluten has been associated with a spectrum of adverse biological responses, the dismissal of which may culminate in severe health complications—particularly among individuals with genetic susceptibilities or autoimmune dysfunctions
Celiac disease is a diet
A gluten-free diet, as the name suggests, should first of all eliminate products containing gluten. When using a gluten free diet, you should remember the basic principle of any diet, which is diversity. The diet must be properly balanced so that there is no shortage of essential nutrients. Gluten is found in a large number of food products.
