Why go gluten and dairy-free?
The benefits of a gluten and dairy-free diet
For those living with gluten or dairy intolerance, the decision to eliminate these ingredients from their diet is not just a fad, but a necessity. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, and can cause digestive issues and inflammation in those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Similarly, dairy can be difficult for some individuals to digest due to lactose intolerance or milk protein allergies. By eliminating gluten and dairy, not only can one avoid uncomfortable symptoms, but it can also lead to improved digestion and overall well-being.
