Читать книгу Gluten Exposed: The Science Behind the Hype and How to Navigate to a Healthy, Symptom-free Life - Rory Jones, Dr. Green Peter - Страница 17

A gluten-free diet is lifesaving for people with celiac disease. It reduces symptoms for many with NCGS—people who have tested negative for celiac disease but who have similar symptoms—and IBS. But the long-term harm of the diet for people who do not really need it is still unknown.

What we do know is that a gluten-free diet is:

 low in fiber

 low in iron

 low in B vitamins

 high in sugar and fat

 associated with elevated levels of heavy metals in the body

 a risk for increased sensitivity to gluten

 potentially bad for your microbiome

Be advised that when embarking on a gluten-free diet you are potentially sitting down to a banquet of consequences. If you are thinking of replacing what is lost in a gluten-free diet with supplements and probiotics, read the ºnext chapter carefully.
