Could I have a gluten allergy?
Answer by Chronic Hiver
Gluten allergy is also known as celiac disease, or gluten intolerance.
Symptoms of Celiac Disease May Include One or More of the Following:
* Recurring bloating, gas, or abdominal pain
* Chronic diarrhea or constipation or both
* Unexplained weight loss or weight gain
* Pale, foul-smelling stool
* Unexplained anemia
* Bone or joint pain
* Behavior changes/depression/irritability
* Vitamin K Deficiency
* Fatigue, weakness or lack of energy
* Delayed growth or onset of puberty
* Failure to thrive (in infants)
* Missed menstrual periods
* Infertility male & female
* Spontaneous miscarriages
* Canker sores inside the mouth
* Tooth discoloration or loss of enamel
Try cutting gluten from your diet for a couple weeks, see if your symptoms improve. If they do, try testing yourself with something that contains gluten, and if the symptoms come back, you likely have celiac. If you plan to get clinical testing for it, be sure to be eating gluten for a couple of weeks before and at the time the testing is done. Otherwise, you can get a false negative.
