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.

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.

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.

If you have a gluten allergy, you need to check what’s in your medication.

In one way, this is no different from checking the ingredients in food, except that we often forget that not-food items such as medications may also contain gluten.

Gluten allergy avoidance means sticking to safe foods.  Some foods are always safe.  What about potato chips?

This seems like a silly question.  Of course potato chips are gluten free!  Or are they?

For the first few years of my gluten-free diet, I assumed potato chips were safe.  It never occurred to me that this snack might have wheat added to it.

Gluten allergy can be confused with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity.

They are somewhat related.

According to the purist definition of an allergy, a gluten allergy is very rare.

If you take a broader view, it is more common than you might suppose.

There are reasons for understanding the difference between gluten allergy and celiac disease, and we’ll go into them in this article. 

The end result is the same though: you must go on a gluten free diet to avoid symptoms.

Arthritis is generally thought of as “painful joints”.  The connection between a gluten free diet and the reduction of arthritis is very interesting.

While a gluten-free diet does not help everybody with all types of arthritis, it is certainly the magic bullet for many, if only they knew it.

Ataxia is a loss of muscle coordination. When the several known causes for ataxia come up negative, look try a gluten-free diet.

There are several known causes of ataxia which is what doctors most commonly look for.  If these tests come up negative, the doctor labels the conditions “idiopathic ataxia.”  This simply means that the doctor doesn’t have a bloody clue what’s causing the problem.  Rather than admit this, they blame it on the condition by calling it “idiopathic.”

If you find yourself diagnosed with idiopathic ataxia, there is one more thing you can try, and you can try it without your doctor’s help.

Diet to Cure Dermatitis Herpetiformis

The way to cure Dermatitis Herpetiformis is by changing to a gluten free diet.

Although medication has its place, this is a short-term solution that deals with some of the symptoms only.

To deal with all of the symptoms, without the risks and side-effects of medication, a gluten-free diet is the way to go.

You must go on a strict gluten free diet, eliminating all wheat, oats, $barle$y and rye from your diet, as well as a host of food additives based on gluten.
