That is not necessary at all.

I sometimes get a little tired of the “I don't eat gluten” people. Look, if you run to the bathroom right after a bite of spaghetti or apple pie, or have to leave the restaurant with a swollen throat, then I completely understand that and you can just better leave it alone. Gluten intolerance definitely exists, but for more than half of the people who say they have it, it's nonsense. Seriously, gluten (if you don't have a real intolerance, okay, because then I won't say anything) can't do any harm and the idea that it makes you fat isn't true either. It's all about the amount. Why on earth shouldn't we be able to eat a sandwich with peanut butter anymore? Did you know that a lot of people actually don't even know what gluten is? I'll explain it to you and share my sighing with you. Just see what you do with it.

What are gluten actually?

Very simple: proteins that occur in grains. If you're unsure whether they are in a product, you can always read the label. Think of wheat, rye, barley, spelt, oats, and teff. But gluten are also found in flour and flour products made from these grains, such as bread, crackers, and pasta.

Why is everyone afraid of gluten?

While surfing the internet, I often read that there are almost no people whose bodies are good at processing gluten. This means that there are a huge number of people who feel weak, listless, or even sick every day because they are unknowingly suffering from gluten intolerance. That seems logical to me; if you eat a large amount of gluten every time, I can imagine that you would have trouble with it. I do too. If I have apple pie for breakfast, eat 6 slices of bread for lunch, and sit down to a plate of pasta in the evening, I don't feel very cheerful either, I honestly admit. And indeed, I will probably gain a kilo if I make a habit of that. So what do I do? I eat it in moderation. Like with everything.

I came across this video. It gives such an incredibly good explanation that we no longer have to be afraid of gluten.
