What are the Challenges in Implementing a Gluten-Free Diet?
Implementing a gluten-free diet can pose several challenges:
Cross-Contamination: Ensuring that gluten-free foods are not contaminated with gluten-containing foods during preparation or storage. Label Reading: Educating patients on how to read food labels to identify gluten-containing ingredients. Nutritional Adequacy: Ensuring the diet is balanced and meets all nutritional needs, as gluten-free products can sometimes lack essential nutrients.
