Let’s look into Gluten and Dairy and how these two foods can be inflammatory for the gut.
GLUTEN
GLUTEN
Many argue that unless you are celiac then removing gluten from the diet isn’t necessary and in fact it can be labelled a ‘fad’. This couldn’t be further from the truth.
Gluten is highly inflammatory for the body, especially when you already have a compromised gut. Many patients are gluten intolerant without realising and continue eating gluten which only enhances already existing inflammation.
Observational studies have linked gluten intolerance with a diverse range of symptoms and conditions, including:

DAIRY
Lactose intolerance is one of the most common food intolerances. A reduced ability to digest lactose is one of the major causes, and this affects 65 percent of the world’s adult population. Many people choose to completely cut out dairy as a way to avoid the gastrointestinal symptoms that frequently come along with eating dairy foods. But is true lactose intolerance really the cause of their digestive distress, or are many people prematurely eliminating dairy because of a perceived inability to digest milk products? And is it possible to cure lactose intolerance, even as an adult?
The main issue with digesting dairy is the lack of the enzyme lactase which is required to breakdown the sugar in dairy lactose.
