Gluten-Free & Low Sugar Cookies: A Skin-Friendly Treat for Your Digestive Health
When it comes to what we eat, our bodies react in all kinds of ways — some more obvious than others. You’ve probably heard the buzz around gluten-free snacks, dairy-free foods, or even plant-based desserts and their effect on digestion and skin. But what’s the actual connection?
Let’s break it down.
What is Gluten, and Why Does It Matter?
Gluten is a type of protein found in grains like wheat, barley, and rye. It gives dough that chewy, satisfying texture. But for some people, gluten can trigger digestive discomfort — think bloating, stomach pain, or fatigue. And for those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, it can cause inflammation and long-term gut issues.
If you’ve ever felt “off” after eating bread or cake, your body might be trying to tell you something.
Dairy: What’s the Deal?
Dairy products — like milk, cheese, and butter — can be tough on digestion for many people, especially in Asia, where dairy intolerance is more common. This can lead to bloating, gas, and stomach cramps. But that’s not all: some also experience breakouts or irritated skin due to the internal stress dairy puts on the digestive system.
Choosing dairy-free snacks can be a small switch that makes a big difference for your skin and stomach.
The Skin Connection: What You Eat Shows Up
Ever noticed your skin acting up after a heavy meal? That’s no coincidence. What happens in your gut often reflects on your skin. Gluten and Dairy are known triggers for acne, redness, and inflammation — especially if your system is sensitive.
Your body is smart. Sometimes, your skin is just trying to say: “Hey, that didn’t sit well with me.”
