The Real Reason You Feel Better on a Gluten-Free Diet

Is it time to stop scapegoating gluten?

Whether you love gluten, hate gluten or have a love-hate relationship with gluten, the data consistently show that the number of Americans who have a medically-indicated reason to avoid eating it is dwarfed by the number of Americans who actually avoid eating it.

In my clinical experience, many folks follow a gluten-free diet because they believe eating wheat (and the gluten it contains) is unhealthy, but feel fine if they "slip up." Many others avoid gluten because they genuinely feel better when following a gluten-free diet – even though they do not have celiac disease, an autoimmune condition for which a strict gluten-free diet is the only treatment.
