Did you know that up to 50% of people with Celiac disease have multiple nutritional deficiencies?
This holds true as much as ten years post diagnosis!
And this doesn’t even include those who are merely gluten-sensitive (as opposed to Celiac) or allergic to other foods, such as dairy, nuts or eggs.
Yet, I know from personal experience, that it is, in fact – true.
One thing about being gluten-free, or following any kind of special, medically prescribed diet, is that you may not be getting the nutrients you need.
So, you definitely want to make sure you are!
How do you know where you stand, nutrition-wise?
Take time to review each of the following, and you will have a better idea of your present habits, and what likely needs a bit of work.
Eat a High Quality Diet
Hands down, good health begins with a whole foods diet.
That means plenty of vegetables, fruit, and nuts and seeds, plus whole grains and legumes.
For protein, you want to rely on free-range poultry, grass-fed meat and wild caught fish.
In other words, the purer your diet, the better off you will be.
