乜野係gluten(麩質)，有咩唔好？

Gluten is an amorphous mixture of ergastic (i.e., non-living) proteins found combined with starch in the endosperm of some cereals, notably wheat, rye, and barley. It constitutes about 80% of the proteins contained in wheat, and is composed of the proteins gliadin and glutenin. Gluten is responsible for the elasticity of kneaded dough, which allows it to be leavened, as well as the "chewiness" of baked products like bagels. It is the glutenins (specifically, low molecular weight glutenins) that are especially critical to gluten quality.

In various kinds of baking products contain gluten because it is responsible for keeping the fermentation gases in the dough. It WON'T harm your life unless you are allergic to gluten. It's rare to find an Asian which is allergic to gluten but it is more common in the western countries.

2 main type of allergen
Celiac (or Coeliac) disease, an immune-mediated reaction to gliadin leads to damage to the lining of the small intestine.
Dermatitis herpetiformis, intensely itchy skin eruption,It usually shows up in young adults, and is more common in men and people originally from some areas of northern Europe.

But for me and you, who are not allergenic to gluten, juz go ahead and feel free to eat. it won't harm you at all.

麩質過敏症（Coeliac Disease），一種身體腸道不能適應麩質（gluten）的疾病，麩質主要存在於小麥、黑麥和大麥，患者主要是外國人士為多。當患者進食含有這種麩質就會出現肚痛、腹瀉等敏感症狀。該位外籍病人覺得在香港出外進食很困難，因為她知道傳統中國的烹調的豉油經常使用，而這種調味料很大機會加入麥類，並且未必清晰顯示在標籤上。所以這位病人希望能獲得餐單及可安全進食的餐廳資料，讓她知道如何選擇食物及出外進食。
