The health benefits of a gluten-free diet
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and oats. If you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, the consumption of gluten can cause unpleasant symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, fatigue, headaches, skin problems, diarrhea or constipation. It can also lead to more serious health problems like malnutrition and anemia.
Gluten-free diets are becoming increasingly common as many people are starting to experience these unpleasant symptoms after consuming even small amounts of gluten. And if this happens to you, you might want to consider a gluten-free diet too!
There are many benefits of following a gluten-free diet. One study found that people who followed a gluten-free diet experienced less intestinal discomfort than those who did not restrict their gluten intake. They also had less fatigue and fewer and fewer headaches and joint pain (1).
A gluten-free diet also has been shown to help improve mental clarity in some patients with schizophrenia (2). This is likely because gut inflammation may trigger the release of proinflammatory cytokines which in turn may induce psychotic episodes in some individuals (3). A study on schizophrenics revealed that when they were on a gluten-free diet for one year they experienced improvements in cognitive function (4)
