Okay kiddo, let me tell you about the gluten-free and casein-free diet! You know how some people have allergies or intolerances to certain foods that make them feel sick? Well, some people have an allergy or intolerance to gluten and casein.
Gluten is a type of protein that can be found in things like wheat, barley, and rye. It's what makes bread and pasta fluffy and stretchy. Casein is a type of protein found in dairy products like milk and cheese.
So, when someone has a gluten or casein intolerance, it means that those proteins make them feel really sick. They might have stomach aches, headaches, or even trouble breathing. That's not very fun, is it?
That's why some people choose to follow a gluten-free and casein-free diet, which means they don't eat anything with gluten or casein in it. They have to be really careful about what they eat and check the ingredients on the food labels to make sure they're safe to eat.
Some people choose to follow this diet to help with their allergies or intolerances, and some people just feel better in general when they don't eat gluten or casein. It's important to make sure you're still getting all the nutrients your body needs if you're following this diet, so it's best to talk to a doctor or dietitian to make sure you're doing it right.
So there you have it, kiddo! A gluten-free and casein-free diet is just a special way of eating to help people who can't tolerate those proteins.
