At one time, many of us were not even aware of its existence. As the number of people with sensitivities increased, the feeling of staying away from gluten also began to increase. Gluten-free nutrition has become fashionable. Experts who spoke to ATV Main News make an important warning about gluten and say that only those who are sensitive should stay away.
GLUTEN OR GLUTEN-FREE?
Some people prefer a gluten-free diet while others prefer a gluten-containing diet. However, according to recent research, it is not necessary for healthy individuals to have a gluten-free diet.
THOSE WITH SENSITIVITIES SHOULD STAY AWAY
General Surgery Specialist Dr. Uygar Düzci said, “A gluten-free diet is not a highly recommended situation. A gluten-free diet is a condition that occurs in people with gluten sensitivity, which we call celiac disease. If a person experiences severe bloating when they eat bread, rice, or grains, and if this bloating becomes uncomfortable, we recommend that they do not consume gluten.”
Gastroenterology Specialist Dr. Hüseyin Atilla Bektaş stated, “They claim that a gluten-free diet is healthier for everyone, but research shows that this is not the case. The important thing is to consume whole grain foods. In other words, to consume brown bread that has not been separated from its bran and germ. Pasta, wheat, flour products and bulgur pilaf do not cause any harm.”
