📊 How it ranks (our editor score) — 57/100Tap to see the breakdown
🌱 What it is
A gluten-free diet excludes wheat, oats, rye, and barley, replacing them with naturally gluten-free grains and foods.
✨ Why it's good for you
- Essential for managing celiac disease
- May ease bloating and digestive discomfort
- Encourages whole-food eating
🥄 How to use it
Eat corn, rice, millet, soy, and other gluten-free grains and foods; carefully read labels, as gluten can hide in processed foods.
How much: Ongoing, strict avoidance for those with celiac disease or diagnosed gluten sensitivity.
Why it works: Removing gliadin (a gluten protein) prevents the immune-driven damage to intestinal villi seen in celiac disease and eases symptoms of gluten sensitivity.
⚠️ Cautions
- Must be followed strictly for celiac disease — even small amounts of gluten can cause harm.
- Celiac disease and Crohn's disease should be diagnosed and monitored by a doctor.
- A gluten-free diet can be low in fiber and B vitamins if not planned carefully; consider a dietitian's guidance.
