Berlys

Gluten is a protein found in cereals like wheat, barely, rye or oats and so in all the foods made with them: flours, bread, pastas…

Their consumption by those intolerant to them produces a serious lesion in the small intestine mucosa which prevents adequate absorption of food nutrients. The only effective treatment for preventing the problems of celiac disease is to completely eliminate gluten from the diet. Thus celiacs need comprehensive information on product labels and on the lists of food published annually by the Spanish Federation of Celiac Associations (FACE).

The FACE estimates that 1 of every 100 persons is celiac. Of this population, it is calculated that just 10% is diagnosed, and 50% of these are children up to 14 years of age.
