Contact UsWhat is Gluten Intolerance?
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. If you have not been diagnosed with celiac disease or a wheat allergy but still experience symptoms, including abdominal pain, bloating, joint pain, fatigue, and more after eating foods containing gluten, you may have a gluten intolerance. Also known as non-celiac gluten sensitivity, gluten intolerance may produce symptoms similar to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) so it's important to focus on your nutritional intake to see which foods may be affecting you. Board-certified family nurse practitioner Katherine Johnson can help you transition to a gluten-free diet by providing a personalized nutrition plan. Call Equilibrium Health Coaching in Frisco, TX to schedule a consultation today.
How is Gluten Intolerance Treated?
Gluten intolerance cannot be cured. Instead, the primary way to treat gluten intolerance is by removing gluten from your diet. Katherine can help you begin a gluten-free diet by providing food recommendations and identifying sources of gluten you should avoid. Gluten can be found in processed foods, drinks, and medications so it's vital to read the product label to ensure you aren't accidentally ingesting gluten. Foods that are free of gluten and that may be incorporated into your meal plan include meats, fruits, vegetables, dairy products, certain grains, nuts, seeds, most drinks except for certain alcoholic beverages, and anything with a "gluten-free" label.
