Can Adults build up Food Allergies?
It is also possible that you’ve not paid any attention to your gluten intolerance symptoms. The illness is infamously under-diagnosed because diagnosis takes some study and consideration.
What is Celiac Disease?
Although Celiac Disease occurs as immune system response to protein in wheat, but Celiac Disease is not particularly a wheat allergy. A wheat allergy, like other known allergies, is the reaction of white blood cells (basophils) and mast cells (Immunoglobulin E or IgE for short).
If your physician decides that your gluten intolerance symptoms are a result of gluten consumption, you may be having celiac disease. Celiac Disease is an immune system response of small intestine. Clinical tests, blood and/or an intestinal biopsy, can diagnose the presence of a Celiac Disease. It is possible that you have gluten intolerance despite negative test results.
Gastro-intestinal problems are major symptoms of gluten intolerance including diarrhea, flatulence, bloating and fatigue, but some minor symptoms also lead to non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
Treatment of Gluten Intolerance:
The Diet Elimination Method is most accurate technique to diagnose gluten intolerance. In Diet Elimination Method, is works on a hit and trial basis. The patient eliminates gluten and gluten-associated foods for a significant period of time. Later after a certain period, with the help of a journal, maintain a record and observations of the diet consumed. Then a physician evaluates your before-and-after symptoms of the elimination period.
If you consume a big, thick quantity of gluten-rich bread and experience an immediate reaction then you are possibly developed symptoms of wheat intolerance rather than gluten intolerance. This is just like a person would react to cats if he is allergic to them.
This is just like a person would react to cats if he is allergic to them. On the other hand, symptoms of gluten intolerance are obviously similar to a nutritional deficiency, where symptoms arise slowly over time. The symptoms might be brutal and grave, but they would be gradual and systemic, not instantaneous like symptoms of wheat intolerance.
