What is a Gluten-Free diet?

Gluten free diet A gluten-free diet excludes gluten, a protein composite found in wheat, barley, rye and other grains and has become one of the fastest growing dietary choices in the world. Most foods consumed on a gluten-free diet can promote healthy weight loss, with the right combinations of other foods and a well-balanced diet.

How did the gluten-free diet start?

Gluten causes health problems for people with Celiac Disease (CD) or non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) and a gluten-free diet is the only way to treat the condition. When a person with CD or NCGS eats foods containing gluten, their small intestine gets damaged and some side effects may include abdominal pain, fatigue, weight loss, joint pain and more. This also prevents their small intestine from making use of the nutrients in the food they ate. A gluten-free diet can improve digestive health, help cholesterol levels and boost energy levels for people with CD or a gluten intolerance.
