Is the Gluten-Free Diet Right For You?

Special Attention

If you answered yes to Q.1. and have been medically diagnosed with Celiac Disease or a gluten intolerance or allergy you should definitely go on the gluten free diet regardless of your score.

Score between 0-5 points:

If you received this score chances are that you do not need to go on a gluten free diet, unless you have been medically diagnosed with Celiac. It should be mentioned here that going on a gluten free diet to lose weight is not advisable as gluten grains do contain a lot of fiber and other nutritional vitamins. This is not the best diet for losing weight.

Score between 5-15 points:

If you received this score than you should consider going on the gluten free diet. One way to know for sure if you have a gluten intolerance is to get tested by a doctor. You can also start an elimination diet. This will help you figure out whether wheat is the culprit for your gas problems.

To do this, you will need to eliminate wheat from your diet for at least two weeks. Write down your symptoms on a daily bases to see if you are feeling better off of wheat. After the two-week period, consider introducing a gluten food, like toast or bread, and note down your symptoms. If you find that you have a reaction, than chances are you have trouble digesting gluten. If you have no symptoms, try introducing other gluten products. You will need to do this for at least a month, and introduce one food a week.

Sometimes you can be OK with most gluten but have difficulty digesting wheat. Each person's body reacts differently.

Score between 15-25 points:

If you received this high score, than chances are the gluten free diet is right for you. I would still suggest conducting the elimination diet so that you can figure out what foods bother you more. If you want to start this diet, I highly suggest checking out the other sections of this website so that you can start off on the right foot. It can be hard to change your eating habits, and the more you are informed the better off you will be.
