Top Ten Benefits of Gluten Free Diet

Top Ten Benefits of Gluten Free Diet

10. Less Bloating & Belly Weight

If you have celiac disease, a wheat allergy or a non-celiac gluten sensitivity, eating gluten products may make you feel bloated. Gluten is the protein found in the grains wheat, rye and barley and commonly occurs in bread products and processed foods.

9. Relief from IBS

A new study published in the journal Gastroenterology confirms a direct benefit of patients suffering with Irritable Bowel Syndrome after following a gluten free diet. A gluten free diet reduced diarrhea in patients with IBS among other benefits.

8. Clear up "Brain Fog"

There's no official medical definition of brain fog, but you know it when you have it. People with brain fog often feel tired, even though they just got out of bed. They might fumble in conversations or suffer from writer's block. Their thoughts seem to come slower than they would normally, and their creativity is sorely taxed.

7. Regain Hormone Balance

Hormonal disruption or imbalance is one of the most common effects of gluten intolerance in sensitive females. This imbalance, in turn, can cause heavy bleeding, irregular periods, endometriosis, pelvic pain, extreme premenstrual syndrome, too-early or too-late menarche, migraine, cluster, or tension headaches, development of cysts, and other female reproductive issues.

6. Joint and Muscle Pain Relief

Gut inflammation triggered by gluten causes activation of T lymphocytes that can eventually migrate to joints, causing local inflammation and, therefore, joint and muscle pain. Joint pain can occur in both celiac disease and gluten sensitivity.
