The diet specifically affects the risk of heart attack and stroke through reduction of weight and cholesterol.1 Some studies have shown that a gluten free diet, along with reduction in dairy, can help alleviate some pain and joint inflammation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.2 Gluten is a substance found in certain grains and food additives.3
Fast Facts:
