Gluten is found in common grains such as spelt, wheat, rye and oats. It is a so-called storage protein. As such, gluten has only low nutritional value, but serves as an emulsifier and carrier for flavorings. It is also considered a gluten protein because it is used in food production to bind sauces and ready meals, among other things. Even more well-known are the adhesive properties of gluten in baking, where it keeps the flour in contact with the water.
It is now known that gluten can cause intolerances. These can occur in both humans and animals and can be reflected in celiac disease, for example. This manifests itself in stomach pain, vomiting, flatulence or diarrhea. If celiac disease occurs, both humans and dogs and cats must completely avoid foods containing gluten. Even small traces of gluten can then cause great damage.
