Gluten Allergy Symptoms

Gluten allergies are relatively common. Some studies indicate that 1 in 167 apparently healthy children (0.6%) and 1 in 111 adults (0.9%) have a gluten allergy. When people with gastrointestinal complaints were studied, 1 in 40 children (2.5%) and 1 in 30 adults (3.3%) were found to have a gluten allergy. This makes a gluten allergy quite common, especially when people with chronically uncomfortable guts are considered.

Gluten Allergy – Feel Better After Eating it, Lousy Next Day

If you have a gluten allergy or wheat allergy, why would it be that you feel better right after eating it, but lousy the next day?

This seems like a strange reaction.  It might be enough to convince you that you don’t really have a gluten allergy.

Pay attention to what happens the next day, not what happens right after.  Here’s why:

Gluten Allergy Breakfast Cereal

A gluten allergy, celiac disease or gluten sensitivity makes many regular breakfast cereals off limits.

Although some breakfast cereals have no added gluten or wheat, they may be made in the safe factory that makes other gluten-infested foods.  If you have celiac disease or have a sensitive gluten allergy, this risk is not worth taking.

So what can you have for breakfast instead?

Celiac Disease and Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome often has celiac disease as the root cause.  The cure is simple in this case. Too bad many doctors don’t realize this.

In this article, we will look at what irritable bowel syndrome is, how it is sometimes connected to celiac disease, and how a gluten-free diet may help.

Celiac Disease and Thyroid Disease

Celiac disease and thyroid disease are more linked than you might think.  If you have one, look out for the other.

There are two types of thyroid disease: Hashimoto’s disease (hypothyroidism) and Grave’s disease (hyperthyroidism).

Both are autoimmune diseases.  Celiac disease is also an autoimmune condition.

Celiac disease may be involved in both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.

Allergies and Spring Grass Mold

Allergies can be triggered by the mold that grows on grass in the spring.  It explains why the end of the melt sucks if you’re allergic to mold.

This is related to snow mold.  Its hard to tell if its the same mold that grows in the full sun on melting snow, or a different type of mold. Either way, if you have a mold allergy, its just no fun!

Gluten Allergy – How Do I Know If I Have One?

Gluten allergy – how do I know if I have one?  There are a few clues, but some of them are misleading. Pay close attention to this!

First, we have to look at possible gluten allergy symptoms, and what they can be confused with.  We also have to differentiate with a more serious condition triggered by eating gluten.

Gluten Allergy and Arthritis Symptoms

Does gluten in your diet cause arthritis symptoms?  There is a connection.

There is a difference of course between arthritis-like symptoms, and actually having arthritis.

We also have to distinguish between having a gluten allergy, and celiac disease.

Yeast in Chocolate

Does chocolate contain yeast?

The short answer is yes.  It doesn’t necessarily have a lot of yeast in it, depending on how it is processes.  It may or may not be enough to be a problem for you.

Also, most chocolate has a lot of sugar in it, which is also bad if you are on a yeast-free and “don’t feed the yeast” diet.

Other ingredients added to some chocolate bars may include additional yeast.

The main culprit is maltose and other similar ingredients. Maltose is a fermented product, usually made from barley. Fermentation in this case involves yeast.

“Surely” you may be thinking to yourself, “chocolate doesn’t have yeast in it!”  Here’s why chocolate has at least some yeast in it.

Celiac Disease Cure? Larazotide May Help Treat Celiac Disease.

Celiac disease may have something that comes close to being a cure.  Larazotide may ease the restrictions of a gluten free diet.

Alba Therapeutics announced further clinical trials of the drug

larazotide acetate, after earlier studies showed promising initial results.
