"People in my family are often unwell. I am beginning to wonder if we might be suffering from gluten. But I am unsure. Can you please tell me what are the symptoms that you can get from gluten?" Sasha and mum of three.
I reply: This is a huge question! The symptoms from gluten are wide-ranging.
The major symptoms are Gut, Brain and Skin problems.
(I call this the gluten syndrome) Other symptoms are: low iron, irritability, fatigue, headaches and joint aches and pains. Many of the symptoms do not relate to the gut. The full list of symptoms can be found in our symptom check list.
Here is a list of the common symptoms:
Feeling tired and exhausted.
Uncomfortable tummy.
Bloating and gas trouble.
Having gastric reflux or "heartburn."
Headaches or migraine.
Feeling depressed or moody.
Having diarrhoea or constipation.
Lack energy.
Bad skin.
Unhappy with your weight.
Finding it hard to think clearly.
Eating problems. If you experience any of these symptoms, then you could be gluten-sensitive. See the "Are you Gluten-Sensitive" book which answers the questions that Dr Ford is most so frequently asked. It gives the "who", "how", "what" and "why" about gluten. Recommendation: You can find more in-depth information in the book -
"Are You Gluten Sensitive? Your questions answered" |
