From Garagarre, theresearch group of the University of the Basque Country/ Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (UPV) GLUTEN3S has identified compounds that can cause digestive symptoms in some people.
After analyzing 60 samplesof gluten and gluten-free beer, researchers have found fructans and proteins that inhibit amilasa/tripsin (ATI), molecules that, despite having beneficial prebiotic effects, can cause inflammation, gases, or abdominal pain to some people.
The university has explained thatsome people who are celiac may be a cause of discomfort, even when they choose gluten-free products.
The study will open a new way to explain these symptoms, as highlighted byJonatan Miranda, author of the article and member of GLUTEN3S.
In this context, the UPV/EHU research group has proposedthe creation of anadditional labelling to identify low beers in these compounds.
