Gluten is called a silent killer because it can cause chronic damage throughout the body. Sometimes the patient is not even aware of the consequences of eating gluten. Therefore, it is best to check if your body has gluten intolerance.
1. Problems with the gastrointestinal tract
The symptoms are mainly associated with the intestines: nausea, bloating, diarrhea, abdominal pain and even constipation. People often associate these symptoms with other diseases. And patients are misdiagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Studies confirm that 10 to 15% of the world’s population suffers from IBS. But this diagnosis can lead gluten-sensitive people to not receive adequate treatment so that symptoms do not go away.
2. Unexplained weight changes
Gluten intolerance can lead to weight loss and weight gain for no apparent reason. This occurs because of inflammatory processes at the cellular level and metabolic disorders. A sudden change in weight can accompany other unpleasant diseases. However, gluten intolerance may be related to other symptoms of malabsorption.
3. Hormonal Imbalance
There is a direct relationship between gluten intolerance and hormonal disorders that can occur as an irregular menstrual cycle, sudden fluctuations in weight, premenstrual syndrome and sleep disorders. Hormonal failures caused by gluten intolerance can be amplified several times during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. Keep in mind that these symptoms are mostly recognized by women.
