Side Effects of Giving up Gluten, According to Science

Going Gluten-Free? Here’s What
You Need To Know.
By  Cheyenne Buckingham
May is Celiac Awareness Month, so we wanted to showcase some of the side effects—both favorable and unfavorable—that may occur when you give up gluten.
If someone has a gluten intolerance, that means they have adverse reactions to the main protein found in wheat, rye, and barley (gluten). While a sensitivity or mild intolerance affects many people, the worst case of gluten intolerance is celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that impacts about 1% of the population. If left unaddressed, celiac disease could potentially damage the digestive system.
While some people are diagnosed with gluten intolerance or celiac disease during childhood, others may not know they have it until much later in life. If you think gluten is negatively affecting you, be sure to see your primary care physician or visit a gastroenterologist for testing.
