The word gluten seems to be everywhere today. But it isnt just a fad word. In addition to celiac disease, there are many reasons to eat gluten-free. For example, ridding your body of gluten assists in stomach issues such as gas, bloating, and leaky gut syndrome. Since you will be eliminating many processed foods, youll also find that weight loss can be a perk of this lifestyle.

As you trade out processed foods for clean and fresh alternatives, your body will thank you with higher energy and better sleep. The pain of arthritis and other ailments due to inflammation can also be alleviated. So, what is gluten exactly? Simply put, it is the protein found in wheat, rye, spelt, and barley that is used in products like bread, pasta, and tortillas. But it is not just these bready products that should be avoided. Gluten is also hidden in condiments such as soy sauce, ketchup, and mustard. A lot of these condiments, as well as sauces, processed meats, and even coffee substitutes, use flour gluten as a filler or stabilizer for a longer shelf life.

So, by giving up gluten, youll be giving up a large amount of processed foods as well, thereby ridding your body of the many toxins found in the food on grocery store shelves. Give it just two weeks and youll start to fully feel the health benefits! And thats where your Instant Pot comes in.
