Are you tired of trying to figure out what Gluten is ?! Well I have a daughter that has Celiac Disease. Thru my experience with hours of research and talking to specialists in the medical field. Gluten is found in wheat, barley, and rye. It gives elasticity to the dough and is used to provide structure and texture. Some examples of those are pizza crust, cinnamon rolls, croissants, and many more than need gluten to trap air and rise. The drawbacks of gluten can go from mild to extreme depending on the person. In a minor case bloating and discomfort. Mild being gluten intolerance and extreme being celiac disease which is an autoimmune disease.
