''FernanDough Gluten-free Bakers'', Pioneers and the Only Exclusive Gluten-Free bakers in Sri Lanka!

There is a lot of buzz around the “gluten-free” subject, but only a fraction of our society is aware of the dangerous and critical health effects that GLUTEN can cause anyone over a period of time.

What is GLUTEN? 

Gluten is a collective term for proteins found in grains like wheat, barley, and rye. It is a protein that helps food maintain its shape and texture, acting like a binder and giving bread its chewiness. Gluten is a natural part of many foods, but it can be linked to more than 55 diseases.

The month of May is designated as Celiac Awareness Month to raise awareness about celiac disease!

Celiac disease is a serious autoimmune disease that occurs in genetically predisposed people where the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. It is estimated to affect 1 in 100 people worldwide, but only about 30% are properly diagnosed.

Celiac disease can develop at any age after people start consuming gluten. Left untreated, celiac disease can lead to additional serious health problems.

Undiagnosed or Untreated Celiac Disease Can Lead to:

- Long-Term Health Conditions

- Early onset osteoporosis or osteopenia

- Gall bladder malfunction

- Heart disease

- Infertility and miscarriage

- Iron deficiency – anaemia

- Lactose intolerance

- Liver failure

- Malnutrition

- Neurological symptoms, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), headaches, lack of muscle coordination, seizures, ataxia, dementia, neuropathy, myopathy, and multifocal leucoencephalopathy -Pancreatic insufficiency

- Small intestine cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma

- Vitamin and mineral deficiencies

If you walk into any cafe, bakery, restaurant, or eatery/ food outlet, almost all the food items will be made with wheat flour - containing the deadly GLUTEN component. 

All types of breads, pastas, baked goods, cakes, cookies, pies and pastries, waffles, pancakes, rotis, cutlets, rolls, and many more items are made with wheat flour that contains GLUTEN.
