Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Normally when you eat food, the digestive enzymes break down proteins into their respective amino acids and these amino acids are further converted into short strings of amino acids called peptides. Glutens are resistant to digestion in the small intestine and sometimes peptides disrupt the lining of the small intestine.
