What symptoms suggest a problem with gluten?

The symptoms and severity of the clinical picture of celiac disease can vary very greatly, which makes a diagnosis much more difficult. 

Possible symptoms may include the following: 

  • Weight loss
  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Vomiting
  • Loss of appetite
  • Fatigue
  • Nervousness
  • Depression
  • flatulence
  • bloated abdomen 
  • abdominal cramps

Multiple symptoms of gluten intolerance result from general malnutrition with resulting protein and vitamin deficiencies. The nutrients cannot be absorbed as ideally as in healthy persons.

Symptoms include general malaise, fatigue, nervousness or headache or weight loss. For this very reason, the diagnosis of celiac disease is sometimes very difficult. Complaints are incredibly diverse and varied, non-specific, and it often takes years before a correct diagnosis of celiac disease is made.

Please note that the described symptoms may be due to other diseases, sensitivities, etc.. So please be sure to talk to your doctor.
