Gluten-Free Diets and Collagen

gluten free diet

Celiac Disease and the gluten free lifestyle is a hot topic in the health and fitness community. Celiac Disease is a hypersensitivity to gluten, meaning that people with Celiac cannot consume anything that contains gluten. Sufferers must go gluten free to avoid the damage the substance causes to their intestines, not to mention a myriad of unpleasant symptoms. However, some people can be sensitive to gluten without having Celiac, so those people might also choose to go gluten free to alleviate their negative reactions. But giving up gluten can be a difficult task! Gluten is in everything from your favorite cereal to the soy sauce you put on your takeout to the toothpaste in your medicine cabinet.

Gluten Free Options

Thankfully, supermarkets and even restaurants are offering more gluten-free options than ever before. The shelves are lined with gluten free pasta, baked goods, and even beer. Still, avoiding gluten can be a serious struggle; with some vitamin and mineral supplements and many nutritious foods containing gluten, maintaining a healthy body is much more of a challenge. So what about collagen? Can you reap the benefits of Tonic’s collagen products without aggravating your gluten sensitivity?
