-Gluten is a plant protein that is found in products containing any variety of barley, rye and/or wheat (including spelt, khorasan (kamut) and triticale). The New England Journal of Medicine found at least 55 diseases which can be caused by ingesting gluten; some of which can become fatal. Heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, lupus, MS, schizophrenia, dementia, epilepsy, anemia, and inflammatory bowel disease, are just a sampling of the myriad of illnesses that can result from ingesting gluten. All of Lydia’s products are gluten-free.

Thankfully, the world is waking up to the truth about gluten. Gluten-free products are one of the fastest-growing segments in the food industry. There are a tremendous variety of grains that are more nutritious, taste better, easier to digest and gentler on the planet than wheat. Many gluten-free breads can be made right in your own home without wheat and can also be found for sale at better grocers and health food stores around the planet. Nutrient-dense crackers (such as the ones sold by Lydia’s Organics) can also be an amazingly tasty substitute for your daily bread.
Even for those without Celiac Disease, many realize that after abstaining from gluten, their body ceases to be plagued by inflammation. Countless people who have spent their lives consuming gluten never even realized that they were in a constant state of immune-system weakening inflammation until they became gluten-free.
Many find that without gluten in their diet, they feel that they have more energy and an overall sense of well-being that they didn’t have when eating gluten.
