Gluten is the common protein found in wheat, barley, & rye. There are more and more people that are having health problems associated with gluten consumption. In this video, we will dive deep into the research to answer the question, what is gluten and why is it so bad?

Gluten is a sticky, storage protein that is challenging for the digestive tract because it binds to the small intestinal wall where it can cause digestive and immune system disorders. Gluten sensitivity is an epidemic that is a major contributing factor with inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
