Gluten is the protein portion of many grains, such as wheat, rye and barley. Many people cannot tolerate gluten in their small intestine. This gluten intolerance is known as celiac disease. For those who have celiac disease, gluten damages the lining of the small intestine causing cramps, weight loss, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and even some vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Those people with celiac disease need to stop eating foods containing gluten in order to heal. However, removing gluten entirely from the diet isn't easy because so many foods contain grains.
