Who Needs to Go Gluten-Free?
A gluten-free diet is important for the 3 percent of the people interpreted with celiac disease, to dodge severe intestinal inflammation. Some people have a more secondary disorder called non-celiac gluten sensitivity and may feel better on a gluten-free diet. It may seem intimidating to go gluten-free in the beginning. But for many, the benefits far overpower the inconvenience. The foremost and most important step is to get rid of all the gluten-containing products in your kitchen and stock them with options.
What to sidestep when you have celiac disorder or gluten sensitivity?
Wheat in all forms including wheat, refined flour, wheat starch, wheat bran, wheat germ, cracked wheat, rye, barley, Kamut, semolina, graham flour, durum, farina, spelt, etc. If you have gluten intolerance, you should also avoid flatbread, white bread, whole wheat bread, pasta, noodles, dumplings, crackers, potato bread, rye bread, whole wheat wraps, etc. You can also not have baked food items like cakes, cookies, doughnuts, muffins, pancakes and waffles, pastries, etc as they are normally made with wheat flour or other gluten-containing grains.
But for everyone else, gluten-free may just be more expensive and could negatively influence digestive wellness because you’re skipping out on fiber. Consumer Reports also discovered that some gluten-free foods have more additional fat, sugar, and/or salt than their standard counterparts, and are short on nutrients like iron and folic acid — discovered in foodstuffs with enriched-wheat flour.
So the bottom line is that if you’re intolerant to gluten, you must sidestep all gluten-containing foods. It’s best to concentrate on the many tasty, nutritious foods that you can eat. These incorporate fresh veggies, seasonal fruits, fish, nuts, eggs, and seeds, as well as gluten-free grains.
