Why Gluten Free?

Like 1 in 133 people, I am living with a gluten intolerance, also known as celiac sprue. Finally getting the proper diagnosis of the problem helped me to identify the dietary changes that are necessary in order to feel healthy.

Symptoms such as: chronic fatigue, dramatic weight loss, diarrhea, bloating, migraine headaches, anemia, and infertility are some of the more commonly noticed problems.

If your doctor suspects that you also have a gluten intolerance, the diagnosis can be confirmed through blood tests and a biopsy of the small intestine. Seeking medical diagnosis before changing your diet can make it easier to correctly assess your symptoms.
