Introduction to dangers of gluten free diet
Gluten free foods are consumed by a few groups:
- those with celiac disease
- those with other kinds of gluten connected diseases and those with gluten sensitivity

As we know, gluten free diet is connected mostly with not consuming the following grass seeds:
- wheat, spelt and kamut
- barley
- rye
- triticale
- oats (a debate about oat gluten value has been active for a while)
