Gluten intolerance, also known as celiac disease plagues 1 in 133 Americans, according to the University of Colorado. These people cannot digest the protein gluten found in many commonly consumed grains: wheat, rye, barley and oats. According to the University of Vermont, simply avoiding obvious sources of gluten will not stop the digestive symptoms of celiac disease as gluten appears hidden in many places such as beer, graham flour and many natural and artificial flavorings. Prevent the problems of bloating, gas, indigestion and diarrhea by consuming foods safe for the gluten intolerant, and talk to your doctor about any concerns you have controlling your celiac disease.
