Food Discussion : Do we eat for taste or substance?

Food is like sex in my mouth lol...It's like an explosion of flavorful sensations.

Gluten-free diet: What's allowed, what's not

By Mayo Clinic staff
Definition

A gluten-free diet is a diet that excludes the protein gluten. Gluten is found in grains such as wheat, barley, rye and triticale (a cross between wheat and rye).
A gluten-free diet is used to treat celiac disease. Gluten causes inflammation in the small intestines of people with celiac disease. Eating a gluten-free diet helps people with celiac disease control their signs and symptoms and prevent complications.
Initially, following a gluten-free diet may be frustrating. But with time, patience and creativity, you'll find there are many foods that you already eat that are gluten-free and you will find substitutes for gluten-containing foods that you can enjoy.
Purpose

The gluten-free diet is a treatment for celiac disease.
