Ancient grains are grains that haven't been altered by selective breeding by humans to improve them in some way. Whether they are better for you than modern grains depends on who you talk to. There is no firm evidence they are.

Gluten is a mixture of proteins found in wheat and wheat related grains. If you have Celiac Disease you should definitely be avoiding it.. Eating it won't kill you, just make you wish you were dead.
Again, despite what all the self styled experts would have you believe, there's no evidence that restricting your diet to what our caveman ancestors ate is better for you that eating modern grains.
