Gluten-free isn't the end of the world

Gluten-free isn't the end of the world


Gluten-free foods can be difficult to find and expensive. Plus, changing your diet — and this is a drastic change — is not something many are enthusiastic about. 
Gluten is a special type of protein that is commonly found in rye, wheat, and barley. Therefore, it is found in most types of cereals and in many types of bread. Not all foods from the grain family, however, contain gluten Gluten is often used as a thickening agent in processed foods, like ketchup and ice cream. 
Symptoms include gastrointestinal problems, chronic fatigue, anemia, peripheral neuropathy, seizures, migraine, depression, infertility and colon cancer. Sufferers can range from being gluten sensitive to having celiac sprue, an autoimmune disorder that results in the body not being able to digest gluten.
Novak Djokovic  discovered a gluten allergy, banished the protein from his diet, and all of a sudden, he’s superman on the court. And for those who doesn't follow sport Djokovic historically has been the “also ran,” frequently losing the big matches to players like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal and am talking about tennis sport. I give mention to him because he a great example to follow. It isn't the end of the world.
BE A CHAMP!
