If you think you are gluten sensitive, what should you do?
We each have our own story when it comes to finding out about our gluten sensitivities. Gluten sensitivities cause many different symptoms, and these differing symptoms contribute to the differing journeys of how we realized our health issues were linked to gluten consumption. My journey involved a lot of in depth research about my symptoms in medical journals and doctor consultations for almost a year before gluten was considered a suspect. If you have any of the common symptoms of gluten sensitivity, you should consult with your doctor to determine the next step in diagnosis and treatment.
Gluten sensitivities come in many shapes and forms, so the list of common symptoms is long. A few of the common symptoms include:
Digestive discomfort Abdominal pain
Bloating Chronic fatigue
Vomiting Diarrhea
Constipation Headaches
Bone and joint pain Itchy skin rash
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, your doctor may suggest an elimination diet to see if your symptoms improved upon removal of glutinous foods. An elimination diet helped me determine gluten as the culprit after almost a year of searching for the possible cause of my symptoms.
