Why might you consider seeking gluten intolerance support through something like a gluten intolerance newsletter?
While finding gluten-free products is easier than it used to be, gluten still hides in more places than most people realize. In addition, the breadth of gluten intolerance variations can be confusing to even the most health savvy of people.
First of all, most people are confused by what is gluten, often referring to it as a protein or a grain. It fits neither description, and when you understand this you understand why this understanding is important to appreciating how pervasive gluten has become in our western diet.
Second of all, being able to identify and define the different conditions under the gluten intolerance umbrella will help you better care for yourself or your loved ones. While it is almost impossible to differentiate gluten allergy symptoms from the more specific and better defined celiac disease symptoms, the underlying conditions are different and understanding this difference will help you obtain both a more accurate diagnosis and a better treatment regiment.
Wheat allergy symptoms must also be considered, but you can’t consider them if you don’t understand how a food allergy is not the same as an autoimmune disease like celiac disease.
Simply put, my free Gluten Intolerance Newsletter shall be my best effort to help you enjoy the calm and confidence I have reached… without having to endure the years of confusion and frustration I experienced on my way to today.
If supportive lessons, fun recipes and up-to-date health news on celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, gluten intolerance and wheat allergies, sounds good to you, read on to learn more about my free gluten intolerance newsletter.

The symptoms of dermatitis herpetiformis usually first appear in the early years of adulthood. While the exact medical and clinical relationship between gluten intolerance and dermatitis herpetiformis remains unclear there seems to be some connection.
Dermatitis herpetiformis symptoms can include patches of small red or pink blisters on the back of the neck, back and other extensor skin surfaces. Dermatitis herpetiformis can cause extremely itchy skin on the area affected. This itchy sensation can appear before the blisters even become noticeable. With more severe outbreaks the watery blisters can weep.
Dermatitis Herpetiformis is one of the more tangible and most visible of the possible gluten intolerance or gluten allergy symptoms, but there can be other causes of this skin condition. To determine if gluten intolerance is the cause of your dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks consider getting tested for gluten intolerance. Knowing the cause can help you find a more effective treatment.
To avoid the number and severity of these uncomfortable outbreaks it is important to follow a gluten-free diet. If you are currently suffering from an outbreak there are some medications that can control the itchiness and blisters.

Candida is a type of fungus that naturally occurs in our bodies; it is naturally found in the intestines, mouth, vagina and on the skin. When it is in check, candida doesn’t cause any problems, but when it starts to grow and gets out of control it can cause some uncomfortable candida symptoms.
There are a few different things that can cause an overgrowth of candida. Two of the most common causes are antibiotics or a weakened immune system. Gluten intolerance can also cause an overgrowth of this fungus if the person with the gluten intolerance isn’t following a gluten-free diet, because the intestinal lining may already be compromised.
An overgrowth of candida most often occurs in the intestinal area, the mouth, the genital area or in areas of the skin where there are creases or folds of skin and where moisture can accumulate. The symptoms of candida can differ depending on where it occurs. A candida overgrowth on the skin will cause different symptoms than an overgrowth in the intestinal area.
Candida can be treated with anti-fungal medications, and many people believe a change in diet can help treat this overgrowth and keep it under control
