Sponsored: Learn more about a gluten-free diet
QUESTION: One of my New Year’s resolutions was to eat healthier and so I have been trying a gluten-free diet. Do you think a gluten-free diet is healthy and will it help me lose weight?
Answer: Gluten is a combination of the proteins (glutenin and gliadin) found in wheat, barley and rye. For individuals with celiac disease, a gluten-free diet is a medical necessity and is currently the only treatment for that disease.
