Gluten-free dieting is a phenomenon which has swept up millions of Americans over a decade. Despite the popularity, many people don’t understand the wheat protein involved. The diet began as a treatment for those with celiac disease, and somehow evolved to become the most popular diet in Hollywood. With 30 to 60 percent of the population un-diagnosed with gluten related disorders, there can be a benefit to removing it from one’s diet as well. Benefits of going gluten-free include reduction of brain fog, joint pain, bloating, and better skin.

Key Takeaways:

  • A gluten-free diet is a treatment for celiac disease but can also be beneficial if people want to decrease overall inflammation in their bodies and alleviate joint pain, brain fog, and eczema.
  • Adopting a gluten-free diet is becoming more common, yet many people are still confused about how and why to make the change.
  • Thinly sliced yams or lettuce leaves can be used in place of sandwich bread on a gluten-free diet.
