I don't know why the subject is asking this question, as a dietitian I have received similar questions recently, and it seems that gluten-free diets have become popular on a small scale recently. There is a condition called gluten sensitivity, which means that some people are intolerant to gluten and experience severe diarrhea and other symptoms after ingesting foods that contain gluten. And no effective treatment has been found for gluten allergy, so the allergy can only be prevented by ingesting low gluten or gluten-free foods. The incidence of this is relatively high in Europe and the United States, so there are many gluten-free foods in Europe and the United States, specifically for gluten-allergic people to eat. But in China there are very few, and gluten-free food is more expensive, there is no allergy symptoms, there is no need to follow the popularity of this, this is another business trap.
Of course, it is possible that you are really allergic to gluten to ask this question, in which case, you have to avoid all of the wheat foods mentioned above. This includes bread, buns, noodles, cookies, all kinds of pastry cakes made of wheat flour, puffed food and so on. Eating out should also pay special attention to pizza, pasta, macaroni, desserts, etc., should be avoided.
The staple food for people with gluten allergies, you can choose rice, millet, sorghum, red beans, mung beans, corn, sweet potatoes and other starch-containing foods, the choice is still a lot.
Chase : I'm a type II diabetic and it says gluten is forbidden, is that correct?
Trackback : Gluten is forbidden for diabetics? Haven't heard that expression at all. There is a concept in nutrition called the Glycemic Index, which in layman's terms responds to the rate and ability of a food to raise blood sugar compared to glucose. The Glycemic Index (GI) is a useful measure of the postprandial glycemic response to food. The GI for glucose is usually positioned at 100. In general, foods with a GI greater than 70 are considered high GI foods, those with a GI between 55 and 70 are considered medium GI foods, and those with a GI less than 55 are considered low GI foods. The glycemic index of a food is affected by a number of factors. The following chart shows the Glycemic Index of common foods Image Source Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents Although GI is not the only reference index in diet, GI is also of great significance. It is generally recommended that diabetic patients eat less high GI foods and try to choose low GI foods. It has nothing to do with gluten. Generally we eat rice, white bread, these fine grains, glycemic index are very high, it is recommended to eat less. To eat also try to eat with a variety of coarse grains. Less snacks, less sweet drinks. You can eat more vegetables. Fruit should not exceed 350 grams, that is, the weight of a large apple. In fact, the GI of most fruits is not high. If you have the conditions, you can exercise a little, do not have to run and jump, just start walking 6000 steps a day. Slowly develop healthy habits. This is not difficult.
