People who are extremely sensitive to the
protein known as gluten, which is found in rye, barley, and wheat, can have
reactions, possibly extreme, after ingesting the protein.
The symptoms that follow this intolerance can
result in depression, fatigue, joint pain, gastrointestinal issues, and more.
Here are six symptoms that could indicate that you might very possibly have an
intolerance to gluten.
01: Constant Headaches or Migraines
If you experience headaches or extreme
migraines that leave you completely debilitated, you may have an intolerance to
gluten. Interestingly enough, migraines are very common in people who suffer
from gluten-intolerance. These headaches can be pretty severe so you should
give yourself the chance to recover if you ever experience them.
02: Mouth Problems
People who have an intolerance to gluten may
also suffer from "aphthous stomatitis", which is a condition in which
you constantly experience mouth ulcers as well as canker sores. Additionally,
due to malabsorption, people who are intolerant to gluten have a much harder
time keeping their teeth healthy since they no doubt have very low levels of
calcium.
03: Sudden Weight Gain
One of the symptoms that has left a majority
of the gluten-intolerant community baffled is the unexplained, sudden weight
gain they experience. Normally, weight gain in people who are gluten-intolerant
could result from two things: 1) they have systemic inflammation, which was triggered
by gluten, or 2) malabsorption and gut permeability, which are two side-effects
of being gluten-intolerant.
04: Unstable Immune Functionality
When one of your IgA antibodies is sensitive
or intolerant to gluten, the counteracting effect on your immune system is
essentially what causes your immune functionality to become unstable or
abnormal. These antibodies are your body's main defense against the flu, colds,
and various other illnesses.
05: Experiencing Brain Fog
People who are gluten-intolerant have very
interesting cases of experiencing brain fog, a subtle symptom. A variety of
things can trigger this reaction, however, the scientific belief of this
symptom is that the abnormal activity to gluten in your IgG is the reason for
any diminished cognitive functionality.
06: Constant Fatigue / Exhaustion
Experiencing constant fatigue or exhaustion could be related to the
side-effects of brain fog. However, most research believes this is because
people who are intolerant to gluten have very little energy levels on reserve
for their bodies to begin with.
