Gluten-Free Diet – A Practical Guide
A gluten-free diet is a structured nutritional approach that eliminates gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It is essential for individuals with conditions such as coeliac disease, where gluten triggers an immune response that damages the small intestine. Celiac Disease requires strict lifelong dietary adherence to prevent complications. Beyond coeliac disease, gluten-free diets are also used in managing non-coeliac gluten sensitivity and wheat allergy. These conditions may present with gastrointestinal symptoms, fatigue, and systemic effects. However, unlike coeliac disease, they do not cause the same level of intestinal damage.
