A member asked:
What are some vitamin and/or mineral deficiencies that can occur from not eating product with gluten in them or for eating gluten free?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unaware of any: Gluten is not essential for your nutrition. However the potential nutritional issue may be from restricting your diet too much leading to other deficiencies unrelated to gluten. I think gluten intolerance is over emphasized at this time and you should consult your doctor to make sure that you indeed have this problem. Often a simple blood test may provide you the answer.
