Any of the following symptoms could be signs that you are gluten intolerant. If any of these signs apply to you, get yourself checked out; you will be glad you did! I did years ago after suffering through many of the symptoms listed below; see this previous post to read about my story.
Common Symtoms
-
Digestive issues such as gas, bloating, diarrhea and even constipation.
-
Keratosis Pilaris, (also known as ‘chicken skin’ on the back of your arms). This tends be as a result of a fatty acid deficiency and vitamin A deficiency secondary to fat-malabsorption caused by gluten damaging the gut.
-
Fatigue, brain fog or feeling tired after eating a meal that contains gluten.
-
Diagnosis of an autoimmune disease such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Ulcerative colitis, Lupus, Psoriasis, Scleroderma or Multiple sclerosis.
-
Neurologic symptoms such as dizziness or feeling of being off balance.
-
Hormone imbalances such as PMS, PCOS or unexplained infertility.
-
Migraine headaches.
-
Diagnosis of chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia. These diagnoses simply indicate your conventional doctor cannot pin point the cause of your fatigue or pain.
-
Inflammation, swelling or pain in your joints such as fingers, knees or hips.
-
Mood issues such as anxiety, depression, mood swings and ADD.
Gluten intolerance can affect many of the organs in your body, not just your stomach and intestines. Get informed today!
