Gluten-free foods are foods such as fruits, vegetables and meats, for example because they do not contain gluten protein in their composition.
These foods are the only foods that can be eaten in the case of celiac disease, because in these patients, gluten can damage the walls in the intestine and cause diarrhea and abdominal pain making it difficult for some nutrients to be absorbed.
However, everyone can benefit from decreasing gluten consumption because gluten can cause bloating and abdominal discomfort.
