Removing lactose and gluten from the diet should be prescribed only by a doctor who has diagnosed intolerance to these elements. About it in a chat with Life said nutritionist Veronika Gusakova. She emphasized that a healthy lifestyle should always be based on a balanced diet.
“Celiac disease, or gluten intolerance, is a chronic genetic disease that affects 1% of the world’s population. There is genetic analysis to identify celiac disease. In healthy people, the mucous membrane of the small intestine completely breaks down gluten and absorbs its components. Glutening intestinal villi when eating gluten is also a myth, ”explained Gusakova.
He noted that the elimination of gluten from the diet deprives a person of a number of important trace elements, such as magnesium, iron, potassium, silicon, as well as vitamins B, E, PP. The specialist concluded that the rejection of lactose can lead to a deficiency of calcium, which is involved in many processes in the body.
