But lets get back to non celiac gluten sensitivity. Many doctors and many scientists consider that the human body can’t digest gluten. Gluten is a protein and proteins are made as long strings made from single links – amino acids. Amino acids are then absorbed in our bloodstream and they are transported where needed to build new tissues – muscles, hormones etc. The problem with gluten is that the human body doesn’t have the enzymes needed for dissolution or “tearing” these strings of gluten to simple amino acids. So when the undigested and partly digested protein gets in the bloodstream our immune system doesn’t recognize it as nutritive substance but identifies it as foreign body and puts on the alarm – an attack is activated on the foreign body and antibodies are created.
