Celiac and Other Special Dietary Needs
If you’re on a gluten-free diet, it’s likely because of a medical condition like celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). But people on a gluten-free diet often have other diet related needs and goals as well.
Maybe you want to lose weight. Maybe you have other food intolerances. Maybe you have another health condition that requires a special diet, or maybe you prefer a plant-based diet.
Going gluten free can be a bit overwhelming at first, but add in other restrictions and it can seem impossible. That’s why I’ve written a whole series of articles to help you navigate. Learn how to pair your gluten free diet with
Lactose or dairy free
Keto
The Mediterranean Diet
Vegan or vegetarian
Learn how to find out if you have other food intolerances besides gluten.
All that and more right here: How to Successfully Pair Gluten Free and Other Special Diets.
