Gliadin is the protein in gluten that begins the cycle of damage to the gut lining, this is called leaky gut syndrome, or dysbiosis it needs to be healed.
Dysbiosis leads to systemic inflammation and is the root of auto-immune disease.

What Not to Eat
The list of foods containing gluten is much more than 5 and much too long for this article.
I have included some important foods which are commonly misunderstood to be gluten-free, but there are too many to include in this article. Please be aware that “wheat -free” is NOT necessarily gluten-free. Some bakeries and food establishments advertise that they do not use wheat in any of their products. Many people believe this to this that this means that there is a gluten-free service offered.
Buyer beware, and be educated!
Unless an establishment is 100 percent dedicated to being gluten-free, you must be hyper vigilant! Read all food labels, be very cautious. Often the well-meaning staff is improperly educated and may not fully understand what gluten-free really is, it is not simply wheat -free.
When shopping or eating out ask for gluten-free options, most grocery stores and restaurants have many delicious alternatives to offer. When shopping, read all labels, and know that the only truly safe zone is the produce section of the store.
You need to avoid any and all foods that contain gluten. Wheat, rye, spelt, kamut, or barley are the main, but not the only grains which contain gluten.
This short, but critical list of products must be eliminated from a gluten-free lifestyle.
These are some of the many common foods which do contain gluten,
beer, ale, lager, baked goods, tortilla shells, couscous, pasta, male, malt vinegar, malt flavour, hydrolyzed wheat protein, semolina, and there are more.
The good news is that there are plenty of delicious options available.
Many of you are struggling and guessing your way through the process of adopting a gluten-free lifestyle.
You can go from confusion and overwhelm into clarity and ease. Your digestion will be happy and your gut will have an opportunity to heal, and just a few of the benefits include reduced inflammation, improved autoimmune disease symptoms, clearer thinking, fewer headaches, and happy digestion.
