What it means to be G-Free

Gluten free foods can be found in more places now than ever before. From your local natural foods store to corporate chain supermarkets, stores are making it easier for people with gluten sensitivity and celiac disease to find great tasting foods and to eliminate the hassle of preparing labor intensive gluten free meals from scratch.

So what does it actually mean to be gluten free? The “g-free” nutrition plan began as a means for those affected by gluten sensitivity and Celiac Disease to discard gluten filled foods from their diet, which are said to cause bloating, fatigue and intestinal problems. The G-Free diet has extended to the general public because of its many health benefits; supporters boast of more energy and increased immunity to sickness.

Gluten can be found in grain products such as wheat, barley, and rye as well as in condiments, dressings and seasonings. It has been said that gluten has never been natural for human consumption, and that grain farmers have been increasing amounts of gluten in their crop because grain with higher protein content raises the retail cost.

SEN CHA Green Tea Mints and Bars have always been gluten free and may aid in reducing symptoms of gluten sensitivity. Naturally, fruits and vegetables are gluten free, and many new products catering to g-free diets are on the market as well.
