Doctors and researchers agree non-celiac gluten sensitivity exists as a separate and distinct condition, but understanding and research still remains relatively sparse and underdeveloped. I will help you better understand non-celiac gluten sensitivity and what you might do to heal yourself.
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder which impacts the small intestines and can eventually lead to the inability to absorb essential nutrients. Nearly 1 in every 100 people in the United States suffers from symptoms of this condition. The troubling thing is that celiac disease can be life threatening in some instances. Silent celiac disease is particularly troubling because it can exist without any of the common traditional symptoms.
Fatigue is a symptom of many conditions. Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is an umbrella diagnosis used when the fatigue is chronic and no underlying cause can be identified. In other words, it is a chronic, severe form of fatigue with no known underlying cause. Typically, the fatigue worsens with mental and physical activity, but doesn’t
One of the early ways to diagnose symptoms of celiac disease is from a deficiency in minerals, like iron, absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestinal wall where celiac disease impacts the gastrointestinal tract. An iron deficiency can lead to anemia so it’s important to know how to detect low ferritin symptoms and what you can do about low ferritin levels.
Diced apple and toasted walnut pairs together wonderfully. Add cooked quinoa, some chives and a light dressing and now you have a healthy, easy and satisfying side dish or snack. The crisp texture and tang of the diced apple works really well with the quinoa, and the chopped, toasted walnuts finish this dish perfectly.
In short… by default, I would say yes. But it’s a little more complicated than that. Studies suggest that about 95% of gluten intolerance patients can tolerate oats. Technically, there is no gluten in oats. In fact, oats are more like rice than wheat, and rice is one of the few things allowed on the
According to Mayo Clinic researchers and the FDA, the common hypertension medication Benicar may cause severe gluten intolerance symptoms in some people. I’ve mentioned this before on this site and to my newsletter subscribers, but since people are starting to file lawsuits, I thought I’d remind readers of this potential hidden cause of their symptoms.
In cases of silent celiac disease, sometimes your dentist may be the one to discover and diagnose your long-suffering condition. Two common celiac symptoms, or conditions closely associated with celiac disease, include defects with your dental enamel and chronic, recurring canker sores. Both non-celiac gluten sensitivity and celiac disease can manifest symptoms and ailments well
Gluten intolerance is both closely related to certain skin conditions and loosely related to several different forms of rashes. However, the emphasis of this post is not on allergic reactions. This confuses some people because I emphasize how celiac disease and a non-celiac gluten sensitivity are not allergies. Remember that even if you experience a
Because people with celiac disease experience canker sores more often than people in the general population, there is a strong statistical association between the two conditions. Is gluten to blame for your pesky canker sores? Discover how gluten relates to these mouth ulcers and what you can do to treat them.
More evidence suggests an autoimmune reaction to gluten may be the underlying cause of an idiopathic condition: chronic urticaria. In a study published in Pediatric Allergy and Immunology (Volume 16, Issue 5, p428), Italian scientists found a strong correlation between children suffering from celiac disease and chronic urticaria. They also discovered that a strict gluten-free
