I always get asked "What is the difference between regular and gluten free?"
The explanation taken from the Mayo Clinic is below:
Gluten is a protein found in certain grains, such as wheat, barley, rye, and a cross between wheat and rye called triticale.
A gluten-free diet helps manage symptoms of celiac disease and other medical conditions associated with gluten consumption. This type of diet also has gained popularity among people without gluten-related medical conditions. The claimed benefits of the diet are improved health, weight loss and increased energy.
Removing gluten from your diet likely changes your overall intake of fiber, vitamins and other nutrients. Therefore, regardless of your reasons for following a gluten-free diet, it's important to know how it can affect your overall nutritional intake.
