10 Signs You’re Gluten Intolerant And You Should Stop Eating Gluten Immediately!

Even 55 diseases are now linked to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. It has been said that most people are gluten intolerant at some point of their life. About 15% of the U.S. population is strictly gluten intolerant, without a doubt. Are you one of those people? You may be if you’re experiencing some of these symptoms.

1. Gases, bloating, diarrhea and constipation. Constipation is common in children who have eaten gluten.
2. Keratosis Pilaris, sometimes called “chicken skin” which appears on the back of your arms or thighs. It appears because of a fatty acid and vitamin A deficiency secondary to fat absorption issues caused by gluten damaging your intestines.
3. Fatigue, tiredness and brain fog after meals containing gluten.
4. Autoimmune diseases like Multiple Sclerosis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Ulcerative colitis, Lupus, Psoriasis or Scleroderma.
5. Some neurological issues like dizziness or feeling off balance.
6. Hormone imbalance and unexplained infertility.
7. Frequent migraine headaches.
8. Fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue. These diagnoses could show that your doctor just doesn’t really know what’s wrong.
9. Inflammation and swelling in your joints, particularly knees, hips and fingers.
10. Mood swings, ADD, depression and anxiety.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms especially many of them, you could definitely be gluten intolerant. If you already think you’re gluten intolerant, don’t try to self-diagnose. Visit your doctor and get tested for allergies and gluten intolerance. You should also note that after you remove gluten from your diet, it can take months or even years until it goes out of your system.
