Gluten is a type of complex protein found in wheat, rye, oats, barley, spelt, and related grains and is present in most types of breads, cereals, pasta, and many processed foods. For the millions who have been diagnosed with celiac disease—an autoimmune disorder that causes the immune system to attack the intestines, eating gluten can mean a life of painful stomach cramps and severe digestive problems.
Recent studies indicate that gluten-free diets may be beneficial for individuals experiencing osteoporosis, autism, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological and auto-immune disorders. Many of the GOFoods products are gluten free, so look for the icon if gluten is a concern in your diet.
