“For
people with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, even small traces of gluten
can cause significant health challenges. Millets like kodo, foxtail, sorghum,
and little millet offer a nourishing and sustainable solution. They are
naturally gluten-free, rich in prebiotic fiber, and support healthy digestion
without inflammation. Fresh Start Wellness Café’s Gluten-Free Care Pack makes
it simple to live symptom-free while enjoying diverse, traditional foods.”
