It's only temporary.    The bad news? There's another reason you might be feeling awful.   #2: You traded one problem for another Many "gluten-free" foods are nutritional disasters.   To make up for missing gluten, manufacturers load them with sugar, unhealthy fats, and processed ingredients.    And when your body is trying to heal from gluten damage, these processed foods can actually set you back.   But even if you avoid the junk and stick to whole foods, there's one more sneaky problem...   #3: You're STILL getting glutened (and don't know it) This one's honestly heartbreaking…   Even IF you read every label, ask servers a million questions, basically become a gluten detective…   Nearly 40% of foods labeled "gluten-free" actually contain gluten.   And it only takes the tiniest amount — like a few breadcrumbs — to trigger reactions.    So despite all your efforts, hidden gluten might still be making you feel terrible.   But don't panic.    Here are 3 ways to stay one step ahead of gluten 1. Know the Gluten Aliases Gluten is sneaky. It hides behind fancy names on ingredient labels that sound nothing like "gluten."   Watch out for semolina, spelt, durum, dextrin, maltodextrin, farina, modified food starch, and anything with "malt" in it.    Even "natural flavors" can contain gluten.   2. Avoid Foods That Trigger Inflammation Research shows it helps to limit anything refined, sugary, or prepackaged, all of which can make inflammation worse.   Instead, focus on supportive foods like leafy greens, berries, fish, nuts, and yes, even dark chocolate.   3. Stay Proactive with Specialized Gluten-Fighting Enzymes Even when you do everything right, some gluten is still going to slip through.   That's where an enzyme called Tolerase-G comes in.   It's the first and only enzyme shown in human studies to 100% break down gluten in the stomach.   The key word here is "before" – Because once gluten gets past your stomach, it's too late.   In fact, I was so impressed by the research on Tolerase-G that we made it the star ingredient in Just Thrive Gluten Away.   After all, you've already made the hard choice to go gluten-free. Now make it work for you instead of against you.   >> Discover more about Just Thrive Gluten Away   With gratitude, Tina Anderson Just Thrive | Founder   PS: Did you know?
