4 Signs You that suggest You may need to follow
a Gluten Free diet

gluten sensitivity
  • The gluten-free diet has become a fitness trend
    as more and more people are willing to sacrifice
    their morning bagels, midnight cookies and
    customary snacks like chips, crackers, ice cream,
    cakes etc. to maintain a good physique and live a
    healthy life.
  • Even so, gluten sensitivity is commonly
    misunderstood, and many people still fail to
    realise they are gluten intolerant and thus
    continue to live with the symptoms, affecting
    their overall health in the long-term.
  • Listed below are common symptoms of gluten
    sensitivity that are easily ignored. Remember
    that not everyone with these symptoms may have a
    gluten allergy but they are worth considering if
    your GP cant find any potential reasons for your
    condition.

Improper Digestion
  • Skin Problems

Gluten sensitivity may manifest itself in
different forms of skin conditions such as small
rashes, hard bumps, redness, blistering and
itchiness appearing or experienced particularly
on the arms and the face. Keratosis pilaris,
dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema and psoriasis
are some other skin conditions that are linked to
gluten sensitivity and have been shown to improve
when on a gluten-free diet.
  • Digestive issues including the likes of diarrhea,
    abdominal pain, constipation, gas, bloating and
    cramping are often associated with gluten
    sensitivity.
  • Experiencing nausea or foul-smelling faeces after
    eating food containing gluten may also be your
    body trying to tell you might want to avoid
    gluten.

Headaches
  • Fatigue

Feeling tired occasionally isnt uncommon.
However, if you find yourself constantly tired
and exhausted, gluten in your diet may be to
blame. Studies have shown that gluten-intolerant
individuals are more prone to chronic fatigue and
fibromyalgia. Moreover, gluten allergy can also
cause iron deficiency anaemia, which may result
in exhaustion, lack of energy and tiredness.
  • Though headaches are a common ailment that may
    result from a number of conditions, people with
    gluten intolerance are more prone to pounding
    headaches and even migraines.

Bottom line
  • These are some common conditions that may
    indicate its time to cut gluten out of your
    diet. Furthermore, a foggy brain, anxiety, joint
    and muscle pain and unexplained weight loss are
    some other symptoms that you may likely
    experience if you are intolerant to gluten.
  • The treatment for gluten sensitivity is to follow
    a strict gluten-free diet. However, going
    gluten-free may not be easy and requires a great
    deal of consideration and commitment. Though
    there are varied foods you can incorporate in
    your gluten-free diet such as beans, potato, soy,
    gluten free cereal and muesli bars, it is
    important that you do proper research and testing
    to make sure that your diet is completely
    gluten-free.
