Recent times has seen gluten-free diets gain substantial popularity. Some celebrities believe that this kind of diet helps with weight loss. Some athletes also agree gluten-free food improves their performances.

To better understand the concept, let us define gluten and examine the health reasons why some people need to exercise a gluten-free diet.

Gluten is a protein found in many grains, including wheat, barley, and rye. It is common in foods such as bread, pasta, pizza, and cereal.

Although there is no compelling scientific evidence to support that restricting the gluten you eat can improve your health, there are a group of people who depend on this type of diet. Who are they exactly?

Those who are diagnosed with celiac disease. This disease affects the immune system and restricts people eating gluten because it will damage their small intestine.

Thus, this type of damage results in malabsorption of nutrients. Avoiding gluten makes sense for not only people with celiac disease, but also those with a wheat allergy or who feel unwell after consuming gluten.
