gluten
[ˈɡluːtn̩]
Gluten is a type of protein found in certain grains like wheat, barley, and rye.
When people talk about gluten, they often mean that it's something to watch out for if you have health problems or dietary restrictions. Some folks with conditions like celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity need to avoid eating foods containing gluten altogether, while others might try cutting back on their gluten intake as a way of feeling better. This means being mindful of the ingredients in packaged goods and knowing which types of food are naturally gluten-free – like fruits, veggies, meats, and many grains that aren't wheat or barley, like rice and quinoa.
