Gluten is a protein that is found in cereals like wheat, oats, triticale, barley, and rye. People diagnosed with celiac disease ( a chronic systemic autoimmune illness ) or wheat allergy, follow a strict gluten-free diet, to enable the small intestine to improve. Then, it can digest nutrients properly, and lessen the chances of other related health issues. Many people have already embraced gluten-free diets. However, according to nutritionists, following a gluten-free diet without symptoms of gluten intolerance, can be harmful to health. It can lead to nutritional deficiencies, including fiber, riboflavin, niacin, folate, thiamin, iron, and calcium. Therefore, the amount of gluten in the diet should be reduced carefully, or else it can be unhealthy.
