What Is Gluten and Why Going Gluten-Free Matters?
Most people have heard the word gluten, but few really understand what it is and why it can cause so much trouble. Gluten is a natural protein found in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. It’s what gives bread its soft, stretchy texture and helps dough rise. But for millions of people worldwide, gluten isn’t a friend — it’s an enemy. At Celiac Saviour, we believe that knowledge is the first step toward better health. Our mission began with one simple promise: to make gluten-free living safe, simple, and absolutely delicious.
Celiac Disease vs Gluten Sensitivity — What’s the Difference?
There’s a lot of confusion between these two conditions, so let’s clear it up:
- Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder — when someone with celiac disease eats gluten, their immune system attacks the small intestine, damaging its lining and preventing nutrient absorption. Even a trace of gluten can cause harm.
- Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, on the other hand, doesn’t damage the intestines but still causes uncomfortable symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, and headaches.
Both require one thing in common — a strict gluten-free diet. That’s why Celiac Saviour ensures that every product we make is tested and certified 100% gluten-free, so you can eat with confidence.
