Hola, iam Gary Sammer, Have a pleasant day.
Hey there! Have you ever heard of gluten belly? It’s a term used to describe the uncomfortable symptoms that can occur when someone eats foods containing gluten. From bloating and gas to abdominal pain and fatigue, it’s no fun! But don’t worry - there are ways to manage it. Let’s take a look at what causes gluten belly, how to identify it, and how to treat it.
What Is Gluten Belly? [Solved]
Feeling queasy, tired, or bloated? Gluten might be the culprit. It’s found in wheat, rye, barley and triticale - a mix of wheat and rye.
Gluten Intolerance: Gluten intolerance is a condition in which the body has difficulty digesting gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Symptoms of gluten intolerance can include abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue and headaches.
Celiac Disease: Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that occurs when the body’s immune system reacts to gluten by attacking the small intestine and damaging its ability to absorb nutrients from food. Symptoms of celiac disease can include abdominal pain and bloating as well as weight loss or gain due to malabsorption of nutrients.
Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity: Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is a condition in which people experience symptoms similar to those of celiac disease but do not have any damage to their small intestine or antibodies against gluten present in their bloodwork. Symptoms of NCGS can include abdominal pain and bloating as well as fatigue and headaches after consuming foods containing gluten.
Diagnosis: Diagnosis for both celiac disease and NCGS requires blood tests for antibodies against gluten as well as an endoscopy with biopsy of the small intestine to check for damage caused by the immune system’s reaction to gluten consumption.
Treatment: The only treatment for both celiac disease and NCGS is a strict lifelong adherence to a diet free from all sources of wheat, barley, rye
Gluten belly is a term used to describe the uncomfortable feeling of bloating and abdominal pain that some people experience after eating foods containing gluten. It’s like having a food baby, but it’s not as cute! It can be really annoying, especially if you’re trying to enjoy a meal. Ugh, nobody likes feeling like they’ve got a rock in their stomach! Thankfully, there are plenty of gluten-free options out there so you don’t have to suffer through it.
