Gluten is protein, which isn't going to cause an insulin spike. I suspect you mean carbs.

- chiefalchemist 9y agoWhat happens in the body when it's consumed?
- grzm 9y agoI'm not sure I follow. Are you saying that eating bread causes an insulin spike, and since bread contains gluten, that's part of the insulin spike? Eating gluten-free carbohydrates also create an insulin spike. If I'm misunderstanding you, please feel free to clarify. I'd rather not be building a straw man inadvertently.
