Gluten Allergy

|
Summary:
Gluten allergy is often misunderstood. It can be easily confused with having Celiac Disease or a
gluten intolerance...and there is a difference between a gluten allergy
and the other two conditions...though the symptoms of gluten allergy are sometimes the same as with Celiac or a gluten intolerance.
Confused?

Gluten Allergy
Gluten allergy happens in the bloodstream as opposed to a gluten intolerance which is a gluten sensitivity or better defined, a
digestive problem with any food containing gluten. Gluten intolerance is an inability
to digest gluten or tolerate it in any form. A gluten intolerance
happens solely and entirely within the digestive system.
Gluten allergy is also different from Celiac Disease which is a wearing away of
the villi that lines the gastrointestinal system and provides the vast
absorptive surface for moving nutrients into our bloodstream.
Gluten allergy requires the avoidance of any foods containing wheat, oats, barley, spelt, triticale and rye.
If you have been tested for Celiac Disease and it came back negative, that does not mean you do not have a gluten allergy or an intolerance to gluten.
As
a gluten intolerance happens entirely in the gastrointestinal system,
so does Celiac Disease when gluten causes the villi of the small
intestine to wear down to small nubs. This decreases the absorptive
surface and causes GI tract symptoms. The symptoms of Celiac and gluten intolerance may be similar to those of a gluten allergy.
A gluten allergy happens in the bloodstream when foods cross over from
the small intestine to the bloodstream improperly, usually in the
presence of an unhealthy gastrointestinal system. Antibodies are
created to that food and every time it is eaten chemistry is created
that can cause a wide range of symptoms, especially inflammation. Other
symptoms may be similar to Celiac and a gluten intolerance.
The main symptoms of gluten allergy, Celiac Disease or gluten intolerance can be gas, bloating, indigestion, heartburn, reflux, GERD,
diarrhea, constipation, alternating diarrhea/constipation, abnormal
bowel frequency or bowel urgency, pain, spasms, vomiting, blood, mucous
and hemorrhoids. There can be others.
The solution for gluten allergy, Celiac Disease or a gluten intolerance
is the same. Avoid the ingestion of gluten containing foods.
