The Gluten-Free Diet: What It Is and Why You Might Need It

A gluten-free diet is one that excludes all foods containing gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. Gluten can cause serious health problems for people with celiac disease, an autoimmune disFree Download that damages the small intestine when gluten is consumed. Celiac disease is a serious condition, but it can be managed with a gluten-free diet. In addition to celiac disease, there are other conditions that may benefit from a gluten-free diet, such as non-celiac gluten sensitivity and wheat allergy.
