Why would a person want to exclude gluten from their diet? What ingredients contain gluten? List these. Give an example of a gluten-free meal with a recipe.
Dr. Satish I.
Gluten is a mixture of proteins abundant in wheat, barley, and rye. Although these grains are staples in the Western diet, almost 1 percent of Americans have celiac disease- a disorder of the intestines caused by an abnormal immune response after eating gluten. This immune response damages the fingerlike villi of the small intestine, which can lead to intestinal upset and malnourishment. Currently, the only treatment is to maintain a strict gluten-free diet. One of the peptides that can be recovered after gluten digestion is 33 residues long; 13 of the 33 residues are proline. How many times would you expect proline to appear in this peptide if it were made up of a completely random assortment of the 20 most common amino acids?
