What Is A Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Diet?

So, if you're new to a gluten-free dairy-free diet, let's do a recap. On a gluten-free diet, you cannot consume any gluten-containing products. Gluten is a protein found in wheat flour, barley, and rye. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease and when gluten is eaten, it causes damage to the small intestine.

With a dairy-free diet, you are not able to consume any dairy products like milk, butter, yogurt, cheese, cream, and ice cream. You are able to eat eggs. It is called lactose intolerance.

So, the combination of the two is that you cannot consume gluten and dairy products. An interesting fact is that there is a connection between newly diagnosed celiac disease patients and secondary lactose intolerance. So, in some cases, it may be temporary when your gut is healing. Consult your doctor, so they can support you.

As always, scrutinize food labels to ensure you are not compromising your health.
