10 Signs You May Be Gluten Intolerant

If you have any of the following symptoms it could be a sign that you have gluten intolerance:
1.Ā Digestive issues such as gas, bloating, diarrhea and even constipation. I see the constipation particularly in children after eating gluten.
2.Ā Keratosis Pilaris, (also known as ā€˜chicken skinā€™ 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.
3.Ā Fatigue, brain fog or feeling tired after eating a meal that contains gluten.
4.Ā Diagnosis of an autoimmune disease such as Hashimotoā€™s thyroiditis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Ulcerative colitis, Lupus, Psoriasis, Scleroderma or Multiple sclerosis.
5.Ā Neurologic symptoms such as dizziness or feeling of being off balance.
6.Ā Hormone imbalances such as PMS, PCOS or unexplained infertility.
8.Ā Diagnosis of chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia. These diagnoses simply indicate your conventional doctor cannot pin point the cause of your fatigue or pain.
9.Ā Inflammation, swelling or pain in your joints such as fingers, knees or hips.
10.Ā Mood issues such as anxiety, depression, mood swings and ADD.
