Being gluten free means avoiding any food that contains gluten, a type of protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. Gluten free foods include fruits and vegetables, dairy products, fish and meat, and most grains and starches like rice, quinoa, corn, and potatoes. Other gluten free products such as breads, pasta, and cereals are widely available and labeled as gluten free. Going gluten free can be beneficial for people with Celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that severely affects the digestive system and can cause serious health complications. Following a gluten free diet can help reduce inflammation, improve digestive health, and lead to better overall wellbeing and energy. Being gluten free can also help to reduce food sensitivities and allergies, as well as improve the signs and symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
