What is Gluten and Who Does It Affect?
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and their derivatives. For people with coeliac disease — an autoimmune condition affecting approximately 1 in 100 people globally — even trace amounts can trigger an immune response that damages the small intestine, leading to malabsorption, fatigue, and bloating.
Non-coeliac gluten sensitivity affects a larger population and presents with similar but milder symptoms. Many Singaporeans also choose gluten-free diets for lifestyle reasons, reporting improved digestion and energy levels.
Reading Labels: Hidden Gluten in Packaged Snacks
Gluten hides in many unexpected places. When buying packaged snacks in Singapore, watch out for these ingredients on the label:
Wheat flour / wheat starch / wheat germ
Barley malt, malt extract, malt flavouring
Rye flour
Triticale (wheat-rye hybrid)
