12 Symptoms of Gluten Sensitivity You Probably Didn’t Know About

When it comes to food and diet talk, one of the most common words we hear is “gluten”. Here are some symptoms of gluten sensitivity that may allow you to assess your level.

First of all, you should know the difference between “gluten” and “carbs”. Even though it is found in cereal grains, especially wheat, gluten is a protein and should be not put into the same group as carbohydrates.  There are breads, cereals and pasta with no gluten in them, and knowing which foods to avoid is imperative if you have gluten sensitivity.

If you have gluten intolerance, your body may not be able to properly absorb many different nutrients in foods. There are many conditions linked to gluten intolerance, but unfortunately the only time it is paid attention to is when someone is diagnosed with celiac disease, which is a severe form of gluten intolerance that can actually be fatal. There are millions of people who have symptoms of gluten intolerance, but the majority go undiagnosed.

Here are 12 symptoms of having gluten intolerance:

1. Digestive issues:

Obvious signs of gluten sensitivity are digestive issues after eaten gluten. This includes bloating, gas, abdominal pain, and irritable bowel syndrome.

2. Mood swings:

Gluten sensitivity can cause unstable emotional and mental health with symptoms leading to depression, anxiety, and sudden drastic swings in mood.

3. Brain fog:

Gluten intolerance can have negative effects on the brain such as dizziness, lack of focus, trouble balancing, and tingling sensations.

4. Headaches:

One of the symptoms of gluten intolerance can be persistent headaches and even migraines.

5. Fatigue

Gluten sensitivities may cause abnormal fatigue throughout the day, even without a high level of physical or mental activity.

6. Auto-immune conditions in the skin

Sensitivity to gluten can worsen psoriasis or eczema.

7. Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a condition of skeletal pain and weakness in which inflammation and pain can occur virtually anywhere on the body.  It has been linked with gluten intolerance.

8. Hormonal imbalance

Worsened PMS, or even inexplicable infertility, can be result of intolerance to gluten because it can cause issues with hormone balance.

9. Keratosis Pilaris

Gluten intolerance can also damage the stomach, resulting in the appearance of rough discolored bumps or hard skin around the thighs, arms or cheeks, known as Keratosis Pilaris.

10. Joint pain and inflammation

Pain, inflammation and swelling in the joints are some of the symptoms that accompany gluten sensitivity.

11. Impacts to immune system

Because gluten affects your digestive system, it affects your immune system, because 80% of your immune system is in your gut.

12. Dental issues

Intolerance and sensitivity to gluten can cause your tooth decay, tooth cracks or cause problems with the gums.

There is no standard test for gluten intolerance, unless you have already diagnosed celiac disease. The only way you can confirm your doubts is if you start buying and eating gluten-free products and see what happens. Pay attention to your food labels, and look for “gluten-free” sections at your grocery store. Because non-gluten dieting is now popular, there are hundreds of foods readily labeled as gluten-free.
