Gluten Intolerance and its symptoms Gluten is a protein. It’s naturally found in wheat and other grains. A lot of foods contain grain and thus gluten, such as pasta, cereal and beer, but also vitamins and cosmetics. Gluten acts like a binder to hold food together. For example, without gluten the dough of a pizza would easily rip. Most people react well to gluten as it can be beneficial to the good bacteria in your gut. However, there are people who experience serious side effects after eating gluten. They have gluten intolerance. When you have gluten intolerance, you might feel sick after eating a product containing gluten. Gluten intolerance is one the most prominent autoimmune diseases. About 1% of the world population suffers from it. Common symptoms The most common symptoms of gluten intolerance and celiac disease include: Diarrhoea or constipation Difficulty gaining weight Fatigue Joint pain Infertility Flatulence Nausea Skin problems, such as rash Headache Gluten intolerance can also cause mental problems such as: Anxiety Concentration problems Depression Studies have also found a link between celiac disease and infertility and changes in the menstrual cycle in women. Gluten intolerance and celiac disease: what is the difference? Gluten intolerance is very similar to celiac disease or wheat allergy. People with gluten sensitivity and celiac disease both suffer from similar symptoms. There is however, an important distinction. Celiac disease is when the body treats gluten as if it were a virus, so it tries to fight it. This reaction causes damage to the digestive tracts. Celiac disease is caused by an abnormal gene, which is not something people with gluten sensitivity have. People who are sensitive or intolerant to gluten do not necessarily have to stick to a strict diet that's 100% free of gluten. However, people with celiac disease will have to avoid gluten in every possible way, because even the smallest amount of gluten will harm them in the long run.
