That&#8217;s a dream for anyone with a gluten intolerance.<br \/>\nFor guests with gluten sensitivity, the TUI BLUE hotels prepare tasty gluten-free food as alternatives to dishes that normally contain it.<br \/>\nBut what is gluten? What does gluten sensitivity really mean for the person affected and how does it differ from coeliac disease?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Gluten\"><\/span>What is Gluten?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Gluten is a natural protein that is present in cereals such as wheat, rye, barley, or spelt. As a result, gluten is also present in all foods that contain gluten-containing grains, such as flour, pasta, cereal, and any baked goods such as bread or biscuits. Gluten is also referred to as a &#8220;binding protein&#8221; because it&#8217;s particularly important when baking due to its dough-forming properties. The components gliadin and glutenin, due to their structure, ensure, for example, that bread and pastry dough rise.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gluten_Intolerance_vs_Coeliac_Disease\"><\/span>Gluten Intolerance vs. Coeliac Disease<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many people react to the protein with discomfort.<br \/>\nThe results can be nausea, abdominal pain, bloating, loss of appetite, or chronic diarrhea. In most cases, therefore, gluten intolerance is the diagnosis.<br \/>\nHowever, gluten intolerance is not the same as incompatibility. Gluten intolerance is often equated with the concept of coeliac disease, two different forms of the phenomenon that pose completely different challenges.<\/p>\n<p>In coeliac disease, there&#8217;s a lifelong incompatibility with gluten. This is an autoimmune disease that displays specific damage to the small intestinal mucosa (seen in a biopsy) and antibodies in the blood. In the case of gluten intolerance, the absorption of gluten can inflame the intestinal mucosa and easily damage it, but no antibodies are produced in the body. As a result, going without gluten-containing foods leads to a recession in symptoms for most people.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seamlessly_Continue_a_Gluten-Free_Lifestyle_on_Holiday\"><\/span>Seamlessly Continue a Gluten-Free Lifestyle on Holiday<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s no medication for gluten intolerance or coeliac disease. The only solution is to switch to gluten-free foods.<br \/>\nFor a gluten-free diet, there are seeds and other items which do not contain gluten available, and they can usually be consumed without any problems.<\/p>\n<p>These include: rice, quinoa, corn, wild rice, millet, amaranth, soy, natural dairy products, cheese, potatoes, vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, eggs, legumes, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, nuts, or almonds.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27321\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27321\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27319\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kaeseturm.jpg\" alt=\"cheese tower\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kaeseturm.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kaeseturm-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kaeseturm-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kaeseturm-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kaeseturm-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kaeseturm-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kaeseturm-240x240.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-27321\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The eye eats with \ud83d\ude42 Even gluten-sensitive guests can strike at the cheese tower.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enjoying_Your_Holiday_Gluten-Free_%E2%80%93_TUI_BLUE_Makes_It_Possible\"><\/span>Enjoying Your Holiday Gluten-Free &#8211; TUI BLUE Makes It Possible<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The supermarket has gluten-free food.<br \/>\nEating gluten-free on holiday is significantly more difficult.
