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:

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?

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.
