Gluten Allergy, Gluten Intolerance and Celiac Disease

What is a Gluten Allergy / Gluten Intolerance & how is it different from Celiac Disease?
Gluten is a complex protein structure found in grains like wheat, oat, rye, barley & spelt. It is also found in MSG, hydrolyzed protein & many other food additives and flavorings. The main reason gluten is used so much is its glue-like property. Gluten gives breads their light sponge like structure and helps the bread rise. However, it is this same property which can cause gluten intolerance symptoms to the stomach or intestines along with compromised absorption of nutrients.

Celiac disease always effects the stomach but a gluten intolerance does not always effect the stomach. If absorption is not optimal the gluten particles can pass into the blood stream and negatively effect the cerebellum and the nervous system. This can lead to symptoms of dizziness, trouble focusing, feeling off balance balance, trouble sleeping and much more.
