Gluten-Free Food Ingredients That Can Trigger Celiac Disease and IBS-like Symptoms - Celiac.com
For people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, avoiding gluten is the foundation of treatment. However, many discover that even when they completely remove gluten from their diet, they still experience ongoing digestive discomfort, fatigue, or other symptoms that resemble irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). One important reason for this is that many commercially prepared gluten-free foods contain additional ingredients that can irritate the gut. These ingredients are usually added to improve texture, sweetness, or shelf life, but they may also trigger bloating, diarrhea, constipation, or abdominal pain. Understanding these common culprits can help people make better food choices and improve their quality of life.
