gluteenittomilla

Gluteenittomilla refers to a Finnish term meaning "gluten-free." This term is used to describe food products, recipes, or dietary choices that exclude gluten, a protein found primarily in wheat, barley, and rye. Gluten-free diets are adopted for various reasons, most notably for individuals diagnosed with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder where gluten triggers damage to the small intestine. Other individuals may follow a gluten-free diet due to non-celiac gluten sensitivity or personal preference.

In Finland, as in many other countries, the availability of gluten-free products has expanded significantly. Supermarkets and specialty stores offer a wide range of gluten-free alternatives, including bread, pasta, cereals, and baked goods. These products are often clearly labeled to help consumers identify them. Cooking and baking at home using gluten-free ingredients like rice flour, corn starch, almond flour, or oat flour (certified gluten-free) is also common for those adhering to this diet. The focus of a gluteenittomilla diet is to ensure that all food consumed does not contain gluten-containing grains, thereby managing health conditions or meeting dietary requirements. The term emphasizes the absence of gluten in the food item or preparation method.
