Day 1 Of 2 What Happens To Your Body When You Cut Out Gluten

For most people, gluten isn't terrible, or a problem.
But if you are sensitive or have Celiac, cutting it
out of your diet is a necessity.  Like with any other
change you make, there may be side effects of
going gluten free.
Here are a few things you should know.

1.  You might experience constipation.  Going gluten
free, means less whole grain foods.  Whole grain foods
are a great source of fiber, and gluten.  So cutting them
out can lead to constipation in many.  To help this,
add green leafy vegetables, beans, fruit and drink lots
 of water. Also try and always buy gluten free
products that say they are whole grain.
