Gluten free intolerance is on the rise. Some people suffer severe reactions to wheat, and indeed, many of these people have celiac disease. Furthermore, there are an increasing number of people who just suffer from an intolerance to gluten. Rather than suffer the severe reactions of celiac disease, many people suffer from gluten sensitivity. The most common symptoms are mental fatigue or “brain fog”, physical fatigue, gas, bloating, and abdominal pain and headache.
Are these symptoms you suffer from? If so, you might want to investigate what makes up a gluten free food list or maybe introduce more gluten free recipes for fall and winter into your diet. But don’t fret because gluten free dinner recipes can offer a varied diet.
