NUTRITION AND YOUR BODY
YOUR BODY ON GLUTEN
Take a StandThis book describes how some people believe that
gluten-free diets are healthier for people who don’t
have gluten sensitivity. But there is no scientific
evidence for this. Do you think that people should
be going gluten free when they don’t need to? Or
should people simply try to eat healthier without
avoiding gluten? Why?

Why Do I Care?Maybe you don’t have to avoid gluten. But that
doesn’t mean you can’t think about the life
changes other people have to make when they do.
What would your life be like if you had to avoid
gluten? What are some foods you would have to
give up? Would it change your diet a lot or just
a little?

You Are ThereThis book talks about what happens to gluten as it
passes through the digestive system. Imagine you
are able to shrink down and follow gluten through
digestion. What happens to it in the stomach
and small intestine? How does it pass through an
average person’s body compared with the body of
a person with celiac disease?
