Gluten-free and lactose-free

Enjoyment without gluten and lactose

Gluten is a protein glue that we find in the seeds of various types of grain. Many people are unable to process gluten and suffer from gluten intolerance, also known as coeliac disease.

The situation is similar with lactose. Many people cannot digest lactose, also known as milk sugar. They have a lactose intolerance.

Gluten is found in many foods

If you cannot tolerate gluten, you must avoid wheat, rye, barley, spelt, green spelt, einkorn and emmer. All foods made with these types of grain are also taboo. This includes flour, pasta, bread, breadcrumbs, baked goods and beer.

When shopping, studying the list of ingredients can be a real pain. This is because people with coeliac disease have to look out for gluten-free foods. Gluten is often found where you wouldn't expect it. The annoying "May contain traces of gluten" makes many a culinary treat unattainable

. Gluten is a popular substance in the food industry. It binds water, serves as a stabiliser, gelling agent and flavouring agent. This is why it is often used in ready-made products, spice mixes and ready-made sauces.

Gluten-free by nature

If you are already avoiding ready-made products, ready-to-eat sauces and spice mixes, there is a wide range of gluten-free alternatives available to you. Many foods are naturally gluten-free.

Gluten-free foods include rice, maize, buckwheat, millet and the pseudo-cereals quinoa and amaranth. Pulses, fruit, vegetables and herbs are also gluten-free and can be consumed without hesitation.

Lactose is a common ingredient

If you suffer from lactose intolerance, you need to look very carefully at what you buy. Sometimes you will find lactose in foods that you wouldn't expect: hidden in flavourings, margarine, spice mixes or even muesli.

The food industry uses lactose in the manufacturing process of many products. Like gluten, lactose also binds water. This is why it is used as a binding agent in foods and even in medicines. Lactose also serves as a flavour enhancer.

For some time now, manufacturers have been obliged to indicate all substances that can trigger an allergy or intolerance. Lactose can also be found in the list of ingredients under the names milk sugar, milk powder, whey and whey product.

Unfortunately, this labelling obligation does not apply to loose goods. You should therefore ask the baker, for example, whether the baked goods you want to buy are really lactose-free. Every baker must provide a list of the ingredients in their baked goods on request.

Enjoy every day with a clear conscience.
