Diet Doc Advises Unless You Have a Gluten Allergy, Gluten-Free Dieting May do More Harm Than Good – Marketwired (press release)

PORTLAND, OR--(Marketwired - April 19, 2017) - Dietary restrictions are almost always thought of as a means of losing weight, or fostering a healthier lifestyle. Most consumers assume that the term 'diet' automatically corresponds with improving one's wellness. The gluten-free diet falls into this category, as many assume that avoiding gluten offers health benefits, including weight loss. However, Diet Doc's Medical Director, Dr. Nishant Rao, wants to remind consumers that going gluten-free without having a gluten allergy might ultimately do more harm than good.

Gluten is a type of protein that is typically found in breads and pastas made of wheat, barley and rye. It can also be found in some soups, pizzas, cereals and beer. Gluten gives these foods their elasticity and shape. Celiac disease (or gluten sensitivity) affects one in 100 people, with symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, headaches, fatigue and even depression. For those who suffer from celiac disease, it is indeed necessary to maintain a gluten-free diet. However, this does not mean that they are not required to seek out foods that can replace the missing nutrients. In fact, a study conducted by Harvard University found that low gluten diets were linked to a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

The truth is, for most people, gluten is not a threat to their health. However, many gluten-free products can be. Studies show that these products often lack important vitamins, dietary fiber and minerals and may be higher in mercury and arsenic. Rather than simply opting for gluten-free foods to improve overall health, balanced diets with the right balance of nutrients are always your surest bet to lower risks for common conditions (heart disease, diabetes, obesity, inflammatory conditions, etc.). Diet Doc Medical Weight loss has revolutionized the health and weight loss industry by avoiding one-size-fits-all dieting and instead customizes dietary guidelines based on each patient's health history, current health needs and goals.
