Gluten is a protein found in certain grains like wheat, barley, rye, and some oats.  If you've been part of the Seasonal Cravings community for any time, you know that I gave up gluten long ago because it causes tummy troubles that I don't feel like dealing with.  I generally feel like I have more energy and sleep better when I don't eat gluten.

Gluten is a protein found in certain grains like wheat, barley, rye, and some oats. I generally feel like I have more energy and sleep better when I don't eat gluten-containing grains.

I have been on a gluten free diet for several years simply because it makes me feel better. I have a gluten intolerance, not full-blown celiac disease - also known as non-celiac gluten sensitivity.

I also eat gluten free because I try to follow a CLEAN diet with less processed foods and more whole foods like fruits and vegetables.  

If you suffer from bloating, stomach discomfort, fatigue, constipation, or gas when you eat a big plate of pasta, you might want to consider whether you could have a gluten intolerance, too because these are common symptoms of gluten intolerance.
