Is a Gluten-Free Diet Right for You?
Chances are you know at least one person who's given up
eating gluten. Maybe you've even given it up yourself. But who can
really benefit from a gluten-free diet?
"Gluten is one of the main proteins found in wheat,
barley and rye," said Dr. Joseph Levy, division director of pediatric
gastroenterology at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City. "It's
actually a group of proteins and not a single component, but gluten is
the general term."
