gluten elimination diet

A gluten elimination diet involves removing gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, from your diet for a period to see if symptoms like digestive issues or fatigue improve. This approach is often used to identify gluten sensitivity or celiac disease. During this time, you avoid foods like bread, pasta, baked goods, and many processed foods that contain gluten. After a designated period, gluten is gradually reintroduced to observe any return of symptoms, helping determine whether gluten impacts your health. It is advisable to undertake this diet under medical supervision to ensure nutritional balance and proper diagnosis.
