More than 55 diseases were bound to gluten, the protein found in wheat, rye and barley. It is estimated that 99% of people who have either gluten intolerance or celiac disease are never diagnosed.
It is also estimated that nearly 15% of the population is gluten-intolerant. Could you be one of them?
If you have any of the following symptoms, this may be a sign that you have gluten intolerance:
Digestive problems such as gases, bloating, diarrhoea and constipation. Children who eat a lot of gluten are likely to suffer from constipation.
Pairy keratosis (also known as “chicken peel” on the back of your arms). This tends to be the result of a deficiency of fatty acid and vitamin A secondary to a malabsorption of fat by the intestines caused by the gluten which damages the intestines.
Feeling tired or exhausted after eating gluten.
Autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, lupus, psoriasis, scleroderma or multiple sclerosis.
Loss of balance, dizziness and other neurological symptoms.
Hormonal dysfunction: PMS, PCOS or unexplained sterility
Headache and migraine.
