Honestly, this should be a Netflix series. Ann the Food Science Queen ♥️ P.S. LOVED the bloopers 😂 Stay wonderful, dear! ♥️

I have an aunt and uncle who are very anti- gluten and it is ANNOYING! My cousin (their daughter) is Gluten intolerant and it makes her sick. But gluten isn’t evil or bad. She just can’t eat it.

In 2019 I spent 1 or 2 gluten-free in the hospital after a acid reflux attack before we knew it was reflux and they were trying to figure out what was up with my stomach

How fitting that a meat replacement substance should be called satan, er Seitan.

My grammie has to eat gluten-free. She's allergic to it :c

I'm fortunate to be a healthy human being without bowel diseases, so I'll stick to the gluten-containing stuff, thank you.

I was diagnosed with Coeliac when I was 17 and this description/explanation is much better than the one my GP gave me at the time, thank you!

One other group you forgot to mention who might have trouble with gluten are people with Crohn's Disease which is similar to Celiac Disease except instead of damaging the villa it causes inflammation in your gut/small intestine. I know from my own experience that there may be times when gluten based foods can be a trigger especially in a flare up period.

A lot of farms use round up on their crops, possibly the residue from that is causing these problems not gluten. A few people who have eaten home made, hime grown bread and pasta didn't have flare ups

I feel personally attacked

Fantastic explanation, Ann. Thank you.

Woolworths GF Cheezels are the best thing you'll ever eat.

As someone who works in restaurant business. I HATE when people come in and say "i'm allergic to gluten" when they are just on a gluten free diet. It's a lot more work to go the extra steps to make something that doesn't have any cross contamination. Those who are legitimately allergic to gluten (or anything thing) the extra steps is worth it to make sure they have a good experience. If you want eat a certain way that is a personal choice that's all good. Just don't make it out as if it's a medical necessity.

Tell you what though, when you haven't eaten Weetbix in 15 years the GF ones are a godsend.

Gluten free is a fad. That said, there are people that do suffer from celiac disease that absolutely must avoid it, but guess what? Celiac disease came about with the invention/introduction of GMO grains that have had all the nutrition modified out of them in favor of ma$$ive yield$ (see what I did there, and what they did there?) Now the question remains: Is the gluten the inflammatory ingredient in wheat, rye and barley, or is it the remainder of the grain once you remove the gluten? I would argue it's the grain that's inflammatory, and NOT the gluten, as it is protein, and protein is not inflammatory. I eat a ketogenic diet, and grains are forbidden (as are all inflammatory foods/oils, sugars, starches--it is high in fat because fat isn't bad for you, sugars are because they trigger an insulin response, storing the sugars as fat, and fiber is unnecessary to the human diet), however, I do use vital wheat gluten for making bread (along with lupine flour and oat fiber, not to be confused with oat bran), and have no problems with inflammation.

Seitan is having its tiktok moment of fame so I hope this video gets an influx of views!!

I just want to say that I think you're just amazing, I'm addicted to your videos and I learn so much information from them. It amazes me how smart and honest you are and as someone who is interested in medicine and baking together I am speechless ... please do not stop doing what you love !!

What do you think of using sourdough or long fermenting times to "pre-digest" the gluten? Does that actually work?

There are severe Gluten allergies that are not celiac disease. Celiac is Autoimmune like you mentioned but there are those with very severe allergies to Gluten which should be mentioned as well, the education of this is staggering in the public. There can be more than gastro reactions, I breakout in hives blisters and my asthma is triggered on top of severe Gastro symptoms. I have a genuine allergy not just a sensitivity. I loved that you did this video so well done, I wish it was a PSA .

Just found this video. Thank you for the research. I am allergic to wheat (blood test) and have to eat gluten free. Taste struggle is intense. GF gives that mealy mouth feel where you cant clear your palate and it sticks to your teeth. Because I am allergic to wheat, many GF products are NOT wheat free. I avoid restaurants due to cross contamination, lack of menu items, and over dramatic eye rolls from restaurant staff. I am an avid home baker and found only one flour that comes close to wheat flour in taste = Sydney Flour by Orly the Baker (pastry chef whose husband has celiac). High recommend it for my CD and GF friends.

Lesson to take from this video: if you don't have coeliac disease, eat food with gluten and a wide variety of every group in small quantities!

Cross-contaminating allergy foods with non-allergy foods should be a crime.

Now what if... we put all the gluten into a gluten free flour?

Is this channel meant for kids or no

If you have Celiac disease, sure, gluten free is exactly what you want. If you don't have Celiac disease? 99% of the time all you are doing is making the prices of glute-free things more expensive for the people who have Celiac disease. There has not been enough actual clinical trials for any other option about being Gluten-Free to be anything more than anecdotal or word of mouth. You, over there to the left, might find you have more energy, or your skin cleared up, or your heart spontaneously rejuvenated somehow, but that is JUST you. It's anecdotal. For all we know, you also changed what ketchup you use, and had an undiagnosed mild allergy to one of the spices in Brand A that's not in Brand B. Please note, I am NOT saying that going gluten-free is useless or meaningless. I'm only saying there is not enough controlled trials to discover if there's anything consistent and replicable to these anecdotes. Until there are such trials, I at least am happily munching on that wheat gluten.

That bread looks fantastic though! I know I’m a year late to this, but does anyone know if she’s put that recipe somewhere? I didn’t see it on her website.

Me and my family are all celiacs (it's an auto-immune disease that means you can't eat gluten) and you have no idea how happy this video makes me! T.T The amount of times I have to explain gluten and gluten free cooking and baking and why stuff doesn't work the way it would usually is rediculous. From now on they're getting this video sent to them first thing!

Celiac's disease and gluten sensitivity is like comparing a dairy allergy to lactose intolerance. If you're just sensitive/intolerant, you can sometimes ingest small quantities without any or serious reactions, and even if you did have larger quantities, your life wouldn't be at risk. When you've got an actual allergy, you will suffer very serious symptoms, possible anaphylaxis and maybe even death. Lactose intolerance is normal to develop as you age, so I'm glad that s byproduct of that is dairy free products being more readily available for the people with actual allergies. I'm sure there are many happy parents that are finally able to buy some good ice cream for their kids in stores for a much better price than 5 years ago.

Diet should be about variety, going on a diet is pretty much the opposite. Moderation.

sadly Chinese didn't check out. where is my gang at

When on keto ... you wouldn't eat either!

Not so much to lose weight as to stop the inflammation caused by the toxins in commercially grown wheat... You are very clear and thorough in your explanations! Thank you.

Because it's Japanese, I believe it's pronounced Psi-tan.

Gluten tends to make my arthritis worse so I tend to stay away from it. I also do not tend to buy the new products. I have gone back to older foods that were more common in the past. Buckwheat has a taste I enjoy and people once cooked with it because they had no wheat.

Thank you very much Anne

I follow a naturally gluten-free diet, I don't have celiacs disease but I'm allergic to wheat, rye and barley. I can eat small amounts of gluten-free oats once in a while. So I'm allergic to the protein of the grains, not the gluten. I can only eat grains that are naturally gluten-free and I feel like it makes my diet hard because a lot of gluten-free products have wheat starch in them :/

There is no way that 30% of all americans are trying a gluten free diet...

Some Oats have gluten

This was really informative! Thank you!

Thank you!

What about going gluten free. but not replacing the gluten products with alternatives. Since the alternatives seem to be less healthy, could you eat a diet that just for example cuts out breads and other foods with gluten (without replacing them with gluten-free breads, etc.)

UZtop make this a youtube original

You pronounce it like"satan"

I understand all the comments about fad diets (and how silly and/or harmful they can be), but Celiac's is not the only reason to go gluten-free. Gluten used to be a regular part of my diet, but then I developed a dermatitis and the only thing that helps (aside from corticosteroids) is avoiding gluten and dairy. For me it's not fun, I'm not trying to lose weight or be trendy (?). It means not being able to eat some of my favorite foods (pancakes? cheese?!) And I reserve the right to try my best at preventing the skin on my entire face and scalp from falling off in massive flakes (and avoiding scratching myself until I bleed as well). 🤷🏻‍♀️

how you lose weight on gluten-free. it costs way more so you cut back your portions greatly so that you overcome the increase in fat/calories

Vegetarians and vegans have been using vital wheat gluten to make seitan and similar meat replacements for years! There's all sorts of recipes that utilize it, and all sorts of UZtop channels that advise you on how to best prepare it.

I have celiac disease and didn’t know for more than 10 years. My favourite dinner food was garlic bread

Man, I have a gluten allergy, this is super interessting!

The world is going in the wrong direction when "so called" influenser can say what they want and spread missinformation to all their followers. Their should some sort of fast check before people with thousands of followers can post their videos. Keep doing what you doing Ann! We need people like you.

My grandmother has been making gluten-free baking for years now. She's mastered it to the point no one in my family can distinguish between gluten and gluten free anymore.. She's a wizard. No idea how she managed to replicate the gluten properties

thank gods you're brave enough to say what i've been saying since this whole gluten-free vegan horseshit started; that to make the GF/vegan alternate even remotely edible they have to fiddlef*ck it SO hard w synthetic chemical cocktails, enhancers and stabilizers that unless it's arsenic the so-called BAD product they're trying to mimick will be healthier than the fake whatever!

This is good for Hitomi (Iz*one) because recently they found out that she is Gluten intolerant and it's sad because She Loves Bread :[

Gluten free is not for losing weight. Gluten sticks to the villi in your digestive tract and prevents them from absorbing much in the way of nutrients. That causes disorders and diseases, esp in the intestines.

Your videos are fascinating! Thank you.

I learned so much here! This is great information!

Ann looks exceptionally radiant in this video 💛

I have a friend with celiac disease and she was so sensitive to gluten everytime we traveled together she had to bring her own food, plates, cup, cuttlery, dish soap, sponge, towel, all of that to guarantee there was absolutely no cross contamination, otherwise she would get really bad reactions and end up in the hospital.

No es el gluten, son los carbohidratos, solo hay que medirnos o buscar ayuda de un nutriólogo :)

4:10 it's pronounce Satan

Im currently doing gluten free due to inflammation, IBS, and i suspect i have the sensitivity (non celiac). This video was so well researched and helpful!

More fat less fibre does mean healthier tho

people with mthfr blood disorder usually have gluten sensitivity

Preach girl

I have known many, many people be diagnosed or claim they have the Celiac disease and say they are gluten free. None of them have been under weight. All of them have been extremely obese. Which just goes. To show that not all doctors are educated, or they just choose to throw around diagnosis.

Listening to her explain how the small intestine works and is made. Just amazes me. God is so good and how He created the human body. Im just in awe

Brilliant! I looooovvve your channel , it’s kind of soothing to watch!

I love how u say the word, doctor. it sounds like ur saying doctor? with a ? after. I really like it. over here in the states, it is a boring word. lol. 🥰

I'm allergic to... Something in wheat, but I'm not sure what it is. I do get gastrointestinal problems, but I already have those in general, so I don't know if it's caused by the gluten. But, I also get hives every time I eat wheat?? And I remember that when I was really young, eating wheat always made me really tired and I would sleep for hours.

Can you debunk the science behind Seitan (fake chicken) I’m really intrigued by it and I’m not even a vegan 😂

Ann, please do more of these videos, they are amazing and educational. Could you please also do a video about the difference in types of sugars and other sweeteners? Edit: You are amazing!!! ❤️

Wow look at that, and no one's dangly bits flew off in the process!

Only time I eat gluten free is brownies, I don't know why but I find it tastes better

I’m on a half gluten free diet because my mom has a celiac disease. We don’t have any normal flowers and food what she makes or we make together is gluten free but I eat normal cookies and normal bread. Mom doesn’t use the toaster with her bread. She uses microwave an air frier to warm her bread

if you do not have a gluten allergy do not ban gluten it can make you very very sick eventually over time

Seitan is said Say-tan. Loved the video. The only halfway decent vegan cookies, when I don't have time to bake, I can get are gluten free and the texture takes some getting used to.

Seitan is just pronounced satan

My friend has eds and is allergic to dairy and Gluten xD People assume she's part of the fad and don't take her seriously at all

Yep. As a Malaysian can confirm. We do have cuttlefish flavoured Twisties or twisties-like prawn crackers. Love that stuff.

These videos are always so informative. Thanks!

Gluten free,vegan,dairy free diets= Eat ice.

Seitan is a great reason for NEVER eating processed foods again. I stopped eating processed foods a long time ago. I don't spend a lot of time or energy in the kitchen, I just simplified my diet. BTW, there's an easier way to go gluten free. Stop eating bread or any breaded or breadish foods.

Gluten is my friend

I thought gluten wasn't vegan safe due to many of them choosing gluten free, so how is it the Chinese culture able to make these different type of vegan cuisines with gluten in them

seitan is actually gaining traction on tiktok recently, people are using it to replace chicken in recipes. it's really cool, and hopefully it gets popular enough in western circles to combat some of the gluten hate

This is a wonderfully informative video! Will definitely been trying the faux supermarket meat recipe with gluten

It's pronounced Say-Tan. Like the Devil. Also, that's just the name for the product, it's not a brand name.

This was really informative especially as my mom may have celiac (still has to go for the official diagnosis) but she has lost a drastic amount of weight and can barely eat most food

Wow I'm astonished, i never knew you could make your own meat like that, let alone that its all based on a ball of glutuen

10:30 As if gluten free cookies were not real cookies. This guy does not know how to make neither of them.

9:17 The Awful Tea biscuit trial!

This ball of pure gluten (with a little bit of chipped nail polish 0.0)

your couple is so cute

In my opinion, the problem is that people need to know what is the goal and the background of certain diet. In fact a "gluten-free" diet may help you to lose weight but how? Flour contains ~95% of sugar a typical bread contains around 70g of sugar per 100g. So if flour is your main source of your carbohydrates, the gluten-free diet may actually helps you. In my case (vegetarian), that was the main reason, I started the keto diet (without meat) and found out that, in fact, I ate a lot of sugar (bread, sweetened drinks etc.). So avoiding flour (not gluten-free) helped me to reduce sugar and I was able to lose almost 40kg. Even after that I am avoiding flour as much as I can, just because I know what impact (in my case) it has. So just to wrap it up - if you don't eat much bread and you are on "gluten-free" diet you are not lowering your sugar consumption that much but you simply eat more fat and calories and actually gaining weight. These influncer-type virals are often almost dangerous in some cases, especially for the younger audience, and these people (not all of them) often don't know what they're propagating. I want to thank you for your work and effort to debunk these information! I am happy that your channel became so popular!

My mother had to go gluten free several years ago for health reasons, and after seeing her struggle to find gluten-free food that tastes okay and the difficulty she has when eating out, I question why anyone would choose to remove gluten from their diet when they don't need to.

Idk how they can make so much videos about being gluten free & dairy free? I've been gluten- and dairy free for long time and its not that hard tbh? :D

I don't think seitan is a product name it's justmame of the meat replacement

Seitan is pronounced as se in self and a is pronounced as in A in Australia, so its pronounced Se-i-ta-n

My friend is gluten free She can’t digest gluten food well So when she doesn’t have any food at school my friend and I try to give her our food but everything we have has gluten

Earlier, I made bread for the first time but either didn’t use enough yeast or had it rise too coldly, and it made something with a hard exterior but that was still easy to bite. Do you think I would be able to achieve the same thing by taking the yeast out of the equation? The ingredients I used were milk, sugar, yeast, bread flour, salt, egg, and later with butter kneaded in.

Gluten makes the world go round.
