Gluten is a type of protein found in grains such as wheat, rye, barley, and others. The consumption of gluten might irritate the lining of the small intestine, leading to a weaker immune system in certain people with the pre-existing auto-immune condition. Considering this tendency among consumers, manufacturers are introducing a wide variety of gluten-free food products in the market and most gluten-free bakery products are consumed as a part of meals.
