Gluten or more specifically Gliadin which is a glycoprotein found in Wheat, Spelt, Barley and Rye is an intestinal irritant that causes allergic reactions. The body actually reacts to it as if it were an invader. Gliadin also upregulates a gut protein called Zonulin which adversely affects tight junctions in the gut resulting in increased intestinal permeability otherwise known as a leaky gut.
In Ulcerative Colitis anything which irritates the gut and increases intestinal permeability is going to lead to more inflammation in the Colon which just what you don’t want. You can test specifically for an intolerance to gluten and gliadin with an Igg antibody test, which can be a useful confirmation if you are not sure if Gluten is affecting your symptoms. However if you have Colitis you already have a leaky gut and it is quite likely that avoiding all gluten grains will help your symptoms.
Eating Gluten free is much easier these days, almost anything you can think of that is made with gluten grains can now be purchased in the supermarkets gluten free. But you do have to watch out when buying ready made food because you’d be surprised how often wheat and gluten are hidden ingredients in many food products.
