As a Registered Dietitian and a mom of a son with Celiac, I want to educate on a healthy gluten free diet.

Downside To Eating Gluten Free
Most products in the US, are required to be
fortified with B vitamins niacin, thiamine,
riboflavin, and folic acid. However, gluten
free versions of these foods are not required
to be fortified. This can increase your risk
for deficiencies. Also, many gluten free
products are not high in fiber.
Gluten free products are usually double the
price of non gluten free. There is less
flexibility when eating out, or at parties,
or with friends.
Overtime, it does get easier, you learn how
to prepare, and bring snacks when needed.
Staying positive and focusing on the foods
you can eat, rather than those you can't, helps
make the gluten free diet more enjoyable.
