Gluten Free Nutrition Plan

🌾 What Is a Gluten-Free Plan?

A gluten-free plan eliminates gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and derivatives. It’s essential for managing certain autoimmune and digestive disorders, and increasingly adopted for general wellness.

It focuses on:

• Naturally gluten-free foods: fruits, vegetables, lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy, legumes
• Gluten-free grains: rice, quinoa, buckwheat, millet, corn, certified gluten-free oats
• Whole, unprocessed ingredients
• Careful label reading to avoid hidden gluten in sauces, dressings, and processed foods

✅ Key Benefits

While not necessary for everyone, a gluten-free plan offers distinct advantages for certain groups:

• Manages coeliac disease: Prevents intestinal damage and nutrient malabsorption
• Reduces symptoms of non-coeliac gluten sensitivity: Less bloating, fatigue, brain fog
• Improves digestive health: Especially for those with IBS or chronic GI issues
• Boosts energy and mood: Linked to better nutrient absorption and reduced inflammation
• Encourages whole-food eating: Often leads to cleaner, more nutrient-dense meals

👥 Who Is It Best For?

This plan is ideal for:

• People with coeliac disease or dermatitis herpetiformis
• Individuals with non-coeliac gluten sensitivity
• Those with wheat allergies
• People with autoimmune conditions (some find symptom relief)
• Anyone exploring anti-inflammatory diets or seeking to reduce processed carbs

It’s not recommended for:

• Individuals without gluten-related conditions who expect weight loss or health benefits — unless guided by a dietitian
• Those at risk of nutritional deficiencies (e.g. fibre, B vitamins) without proper planning
