In this section of Gluten Intolerance Symptoms, I will address the symptoms and treatments for celiac disease constipation.

One of the most common symptoms of gluten intolerance and celiac disease is constipation (along with celiac disease bloating). Before we address constipation directly, you need to understand why celiac disease causes you to become constipated. Gluten intolerance symptoms are among the most serious constipation causes.

You also should understand why exactly it isn’t good for you to be constipated (besides that it can be unpleasant). Celiac disease constipation is a serious issue which you should

First you must separate gluten intolerance into three distinct categories: Celiac Disease, Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity and a Wheat Allergy.

Celiac Disease occurs when the proteins in gluten (glutenin and gliadin) trigger your immune system to overeact with strong and unusual anitbodies. Over time, such antibodies wear down the little hairs called villi which line the walls of your intestine (a process called villous atrophy). These finger-like tiny hairs grab and absorb nutrients as foods pass through your lower digestive tract. As celiac disease symptoms slowly destroy these villi, you become less and less able to process any nutrition from your food. This sets off a domino-effect of increasingly serious health problems.

In a vast majority of cases, gluten intolerance symptoms will be systemic and will be a result of consuming gluten over a period of time. But symptoms of wheat intolerance will instead manifest themselves more like you perceive a typical allergy: quickly and with single exposure.

For example, if you eat a large, dense piece of gluten-rich bread and have immediate reactions, you are more likely experiencing wheat intolerance symptoms or a wheat allergy rather than symptoms of gluten intolerance which specifically represent celiac disease symptoms.

Before I begin, I want to disclaim that the only medically accepted treatment for celiac disease has been and remains a strict gluten-free diet.

The two areas I want to focus on are vitamin D deficiency and intestinal flora.

I’ve always been a little frustrated with how little coverage Celiac Disease and gluten intolerance receive in the mainstream media. So I was glad to find this article by Anna Seaton Huntington in the New York Times.

With Gluten Intolerance Symptoms, I will investigate and discuss the latest news on this growing concern.

While Gluten Intolerance Symptoms will provide you with the latest and most accurate information on determining whether or not eliminating gluten from your diet will improve your health, I am not a medical doctor and I will always advise you to seek professional counsel before making drastic changes to your diet or lifestyle.

Celiac Disease — the result of gluten intolerance — is difficult to diagnose and both failing to recognize it and assuming you have it without proper diagnosis can lead to a wide range of dangerous repercussions. Don’t just jump on a bandwagon because you start to experience the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Symptom. But don’t ignore the symptoms — especially in children — when proper steps need to be taken to preserve your health.
