Let’s understand what to eat and what to avoid (Gluten-Free Diet Plan) if suffering from Gluten Allergy. In some people, when they take gluten-rich food, the body’s immune system overreacts to it. This reaction damages the villi of the small intestine. Due to the damage of the villi, the body doesn’t get enough nutrients.
As the sensitivity to the gluten causes the digestive tract to work less effectively, it causes serious damage and the patient has to face problems that can go beyond the digestive system as the long-term damage to the small intestine may affect other parts of the body as well.
