GlossaryGluten-Free Diet

excludes wheat, barley, and rye to prevent gluten intake

A Gluten-Free Diet is a nutritional plan that excludes gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. This diet is essential for individuals with celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, or wheat allergy, as consuming gluten can trigger harmful immune responses or allergic reactions in these individuals. It involves substituting gluten-containing foods with gluten-free alternatives such as rice, corn, quinoa, and certified gluten-free products.
