Choosing real foods that are rich in nutrients is even more important for someone with celiac disease. This autoimmune disease may cause malabsorption of important nutrients, like iron, calcium, zinc, magnesium, vitamin D, and vitamin B-12, according to the Celiac Disease Foundation. While supplements may help (if your doctor recommends them), there’s no denying the benefits of eating whole-food sources of micronutrients.
These nutritious naturally gluten-free snacks all clock in under 200 calories and are made from fresh, minimally processed ingredients.
