Caution…good nutrition choices run very deep. With modifications and engineered foods, we need to be careful about choices which may seem to be "healthy," and going gluten free can work for some very well, even without a celiac disease diagnosis (I have seen this firsthand in my practice). Furthermore, as one who has an official diagnosis of CD (through an intestinal biopsy) there are many unhealthy gluten free foods available. Working with a health coach can help you to make healthy lifestyle changes and nutrition choices for your body's specific needs.
Unfortunately, there are risks to going gluten free if you don't have celiac's. The Huffington Post published an article stating "Gluten-free foods, especially refined foods processed to make them gluten-free (many made with potato starch or rice starch), cheat the consumer out of the many health benefits of whole grains — such as wheat, barley and rye — and can be seriously lacking in critical nutrients such as fiber, iron, zinc, folate, niacin, thiamine, riboflavin, calcium, vitamin B12 and phosphorus."
