Dr Vikram Uttam Patil, Consultant – Gastroenterologist, Hepatologist and Interventional Endoscopist at Sahyadri Super Speciality Hospital – Nagar Road, explains: “Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (also called gluten intolerance) may cause chronic intestinal disorders by irritating the gastrointestinal lining and interfering with how food is digested in the digestive system; however, unlike Celiac disease, this condition does not trigger an autoimmune reaction.”. He adds that wheat allergy is another distinct condition and can present with immediate allergic symptoms such as hives or breathing difficulty, though it is less common..

The cardiologist’s pantry: The best and worst dried fruits for blood pressure control

 ​Dried fruits are often seen as a “healthy snack,” but not all varieties are equally beneficial for heart health. The type you select, the amount you consume, and how they’re prepared can make a big impact. Dt Amreen Sheikh, Chief Dietitian at KIMS Hospitals, Thane, states that a mindful approach is essential for making dried fruits truly heart-healthy. Selecting the appropriate dried fruits. “Dt. Sheikh says, ‘Not all dried fruits are created equal.'” Patients with heart conditions should prioritize nuts such as almonds, walnuts, and pistachios, which provide healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants to promote heart health.

Avoid dried fruits that are heavily sweetened, candied, or salted.
