antigluten

Opposing grain protein

Antigluten describes opposition to gluten or its presence in food.

The term appears in discussions of celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, and dietary trends: The antigluten movement has transformed grocery store shelves.

It can characterize products, diets, or advocacy: antigluten labeling laws, antigluten activists.

Sometimes used dismissively toward those perceived as following food fads rather than medical necessity.
