                                According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, an estimated 2.5 million Americans are undiagnosed with celiac disease, and countless more have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which can explain why you feel better when not eating bread. This improved feeling is often linked to shifts in blood sugar, inflammation, and digestive health that occur when processed grains are removed from the diet.
