Status of Carbohydrates and Dietary Fiber in Gluten-free Diets

摘要

Studies show dietary fiber intake, an important part of a healthy diet, is especially low for those following a gluten-free diet.Alternatives to common gluten-containing grains include pseudocereals, which have excellent nutrient profiles that could be used to help ensure an adequate intake of nutrients and fiber by people with celiac disease.Evaluation of the nutritive value of available gluten-free breads suggests consumers have good sources of fiber to choose from.
