The gluten-free diet has become increasingly popular as awareness has grown over the years. Some people have to avoid gluten for medical reasons, while others choose to do so by personal choice. It's important to understand that adopting this diet requires careful planning to ensure a balanced nutritional intake.

-The gluten-free craze: For health or just to keep up with the times? -

1. Gluten is in what? 

By definition, gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and spelt that plays an important role in the swelling of dough when making bread and pastries. 🌾 It is usually added or used as an additive in processed foods, sauces and soups to improve texture and stability. For sensitive people, checking labels is essential.

2. It's not a magic recipe 

Avoiding gluten is not a magic solution for losing weight. 🪄 People can see a reduction in their weight by eliminating this element, but this is often due to reduced consumption of processed, calorie-laden foods, rather than the absence of gluten per se. Opting for a gluten-free diet is not just a trend, but responds to a genuine intolerance that can have a significant impact on some people's lives.

3. Crucial for certain medical conditions

For people with celiac disease, an autoimmune condition where ingestion of gluten damages the small intestine, avoiding this substance is essential. The gluten-free certification of our products guarantees safety for people suffering from this disease or from gluten intolerance. Our strict manufacturing protocols and collaboration with independent certification bodies ensure high-quality gluten-free products.

In these cases, following this diet is a medical necessity to prevent health complications. Here are 4 signs of celiac disease that should alert you, according to Passeport Santé : 

  • Intestinal disorders 
  • Secondary signs such as fatigue, weight loss... 
  • Female disorders
  • Stunted growth in children 

It's important to consult a doctor if you think you have symptoms linked to this problem, like those described in the symptoms of celiac disease, or if you're considering taking a gluten intolerance test too. 🩺
