hey viewers while the rest of the world can go by eating wheat products like pizza bread and pasta
just fine a small number of people are sensitive to the gluten present in them according to study
reports one percent of the U.S population is affected by celiac disease and six percent of
the population is affected by non-celiac gluten sensitivity the symptoms of gluten intolerance
can range from mild to life-threatening which we'll discuss today what is celiac disease and
what are the symptoms of a gluten allergy we'll get into all of that and more let's get started
let's begin with the symptoms of celiac disease before we start here are a few things you need to
know about celiac disease celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disease that can
damage the digestive system signs of celiac disease are shown in a variety of symptoms
diarrhea and constipation people with celiac disease experience diarrhea and constipation
after eating gluten products and experience smelly feces caused by poor nutrient absorption poor
nutrient absorption is due to the inflammation of the small intestine caused by gluten
fatigue do you experience tiredness after you've had a full course meal like in any
other autoimmune disease people with celiac disease experience regular tiredness and fatigue
signs such as frequent diarrhea pain and sleep disruptions are something to look out for [Music]
skin reactions your skin can indicate signs of gluten intolerance dermatitis

life or do you frequently get anxious over small things people who experience digestive
issues due to gluten intolerance are more prone to anxiety and depression than others it's also
a common symptom in those with celiac disease [Music] iron deficiency anemia

caused by gluten consumption the inflammation will cause your body to absorb less iron from
food studies suggest that iron deficiency can be significant in children and adults with celiac
disease fatigue low blood volume dizziness shortness of breath weakness pale skin and
headaches are a sign of iron deficiency anemia you might come across weight loss another factor
of poor nutrient absorption can also lead to sudden weight loss according to a study on celiac
disease patients two-thirds of patients had lost weight in six months with weight loss also comes
bone problems and muscle pain [Music] just like iron deficiency individuals with celiac disease
may find it difficult to absorb enough calcium and vitamin D which can lead to other bone related
problems such as osteoporosis osteoporosis is an illness that'll weaken the bones which usually
leads to bone fractures and musculoskeletal issues that cause muscle cramps and joint and bone pain
children with celiac disease may experience growth problems during development due to
their inability to absorb nutrients lag or Arm numbness another symptom of gluten intolerance
is neuropathy a condition that involves tingling and numbness of the arms and legs
this condition is also common in individuals with diabetes and vitamin B12 deficiency some research
suggests that people with celiac disease could also be at a higher risk of developing neuropathy
which may be caused by certain antibodies present in their system [Music] autoimmune disorders
celiac disease is an autoimmune condition that causes your immune system to attack
your digestive system after you eat gluten and makes you prone to other autoimmune diseases
such as autoimmune thyroid disease you're more prone to celiac disease if you already have
other autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes autoimmune liver diseases and inflammatory disease

individuals is still unknown some believe it's due to a reaction to certain gluten related antibodies
like celiac disease individuals with non-celiac gluten sensitivity can still experience diarrhea
constipation anxiety and depression lastly we come to symptoms of wheat allergies
