Gluten Free and Why It Matters!

Everyone is well aware of the terms gluten free and celiac disease, but that doesn’t mean everyone really understands them.

 

Yes, it can be easy to write off those asking for gluten free options, but don’t be so fast to judge. There are multiple reasons why people choose to or need to eat gluten free.

 

A Fad Diet

Yes, gluten free is definitely a trending thing, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t benefits from it. While experts say that eating gluten free alone will not increase your chances of healthy weight loss, you can incorporate elements of a gluten free diet into your everyday routine to help reduce calorie and carbohydrate intake. In doing this, you will help with weight loss. Like any good diet, it is about well-balanced meals.

Gluten Intolerance

While gluten may not present a necessary danger to all with non-celiac gluten sensitivity, it can severely keep their bodies out of balance. Those suffering from a gluten sensitivity experience many of the same symptoms as those with celiac disease, but fortunately without the intestinal damage.

Celiac Disease

The most severe reason for refraining from gluten is celiac disease. This is an autoimmune disorder in which gluten leads to damage in the small intestines. This damage causes long-term problems from those suffering from celiac disease. If you are diagnosed with celiac disease, you must refrain from eating any products that contain gluten. It is estimated that 1 in 100 people worldwide suffer from celiac disease.
