Gluten Intolerance: An Effect Of Consumption Of Wheat And Wheat Produce. by Richbee(m): 6:22pm On Nov 07, 2013
I'm actually not here to scare anyone, but more like sanitize the general public of recent happenings and discoveries.
Gluten is the protein found in wheat and other grains and is hugely responsible for the rise in form of bread and other confectionaries, thus making it one of our daily consumption.
However, researchers have discovered that a situation called 'gluten intolerance' has prevailed, in that the body no longer accepts gluten for digestion and thus leads to other scenario that causes discomfort to the body.

Symptoms include diarrhea, bloating, muscular discomfort and joint pain, abdominal disturbances amongst others and it cuts across all age group.

The only solution to this is to maintain a 'gluten-free' diet and that is exactly what the united state government are trying to implement.

The funny thing is that we Nigerians, always find ourselves living the western dream. We have cassava flour that can do just fine for us, not to talk about its numerous benefits which includes having a low glycemic index which in turn reduces the rate of obesity and other NCDs' (non communicable diseases) and we outrightly rejected it.

Cassava bread is the only solution to this and now that we have the 'high value cassava flours' we can actually sit back with no fear and consume this product.

FIIRO and other agencies are working tirelessly to ensure the reduction in 'gluten intolerance' prevailance and its up to us to decide to the switch or not.

Ciao...
