Gluten sensitivity and other food-based allergies have become increasingly common with the introduction of genetically modified foods. Today, over 3million Americans suffer with celiac disease – an intestinal disease caused by sensitivity to gluten in their diet. This equates to one in every 133 people suffering from the condition showing the desperate need for foods which cater for those who cannot enjoy normal, everyday food items. In addition to this condition, there are millions more who suffer from allergies to peanuts, specific types of oils, seeds and dairy products; showing just how genetically modified foods are affecting our everyday health.
Those who suffer with gluten sensitivity in particular are limited in terms of the foods they can eat without experiencing any complaints. This is due to many store-bought foods containing wheat based products that cannot be tolerated by a digestive system which is sensitive to gluten. However, this is not to say that the individual in question cannot enjoy bread and other baked goods, it simply means that they must have access to gluten-free products in order to enjoy tasty foods without the discomfort they experience from gluten and wheat products.
