When you’re on a gluten-free diet, it can be hard to find places to eat that will meet your needs. Gluten is a protein found in foods like wheat, barley, and rye, and for people with celiac disease, wheat allergies, gluten ataxia, or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, they may experience some dining restrictions. According to the Mayo Clinic, there have been claims that for people without a diagnosed gluten-based medical condition, a gluten-free diet can result in “improved health, weight loss, and increased energy,” but there is not much evidence supporting that these benefits exist.
