Avoiding gluten can transform health for millions. Studies show 6% of Americans have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, experiencing bloating, fatigue, and brain fog from gluten. For those with celiac disease, even traces of gluten damage the small intestine, affecting 1 in 100 people globally. GIG highlights research proving gluten-free diets improve energy, digestion, and mental clarity for sensitive individuals. Choosing gluten-free isn’t a trend it’s a science-backed solution to optimize health and alleviate life-altering symptoms.
Gluten-free diets are essential for 1% with celiac disease, but no evidence supports benefits for the general population. Studies show unnecessary gluten avoidance risks nutrient deficiencies and higher food costs without improving health for non-sensitive individuals.
Avoiding gluten is unnecessary and even harmful for most people. Only 1% of the population has celiac disease, requiring a strict gluten-free diet (CDF). For others, cutting gluten can lead to nutrient deficiencies, higher food costs, and no proven health benefits. Studies confirm gluten-free diets lack essential fiber and B vitamins, increasing risks of heart disease and diabetes. The Celiac Disease Foundation urges science-based decisions not fads highlighting that gluten is safe for the vast majority of people.
Up to 6% of the population suffers from non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), causing fatigue, digestive issues, and brain fog (Gastroenterology). Avoiding gluten improves quality of life for millions, proving it’s more than a ‘fad’ for many individuals.
