Another important thing you can miss out on when you cut gluten is B vitamins, which are often found in high-fiber foods. Many kinds of cereal offer a good deal of vitamin B, but if you’re avoiding those in order to avoid gluten, you could unknowingly cut out this important vitamin in the same way you accidentally remove fiber from your diet. Being low on B vitamins can lead to feelings of fatigue or depression, and can even increase risk of anemia. It can also cause intestinal disturbances, which is what you hope to fix when you seek out alternatives. Be sure to take a B vitamin supplement if you quit gluten, or find gluten-free foods like cereals that contain the vitamin.
