Gluten-Free Foods: What’s the Catch?

Dr. Vikki Petersen notes that avoiding gluten can be beneficial for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. However, many gluten-free products are highly processed and contain less protein, lower fiber, more sugar, and more calories.

Dr. Vikki Petersen recommends focusing on whole, natural foods that are inherently gluten-free, such as vegetables, fruits, dairy products, nuts, seeds, meats, and fish. Avoid highly processed gluten-free junk foods containing ingredients like rice flour, potato starch flour, tapioca flour, and cornstarch. Opt for almond flour, coconut flour, quinoa, and other nutritious ingredients instead. For personalized guidance, call 727-335-0400.
