The Impact of Gluten on Gut Health

Even individuals who are not diagnosed with celiac disease can experience significant health issues from gluten consumption. Research indicates that gluten can cause a level of leaky gut in everyone, which can lead to various chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and autoimmune diseases. This leaky gut results from gluten's interaction with the intestinal lining, promoting inflammation and disrupting gut integrity. As such, minimizing gluten intake may be beneficial even for those who don’t exhibit specific gluten sensitivity symptoms.
