Many patients experience ongoing symptoms due to other foods they are eating They may have symptoms due to other food intolerances that disappear when the particular food is eliminated from the diet. Histamine Intolerance — Headaches and rashes are common symptoms of histamine intolerance-an issue seen in people with digestive problems. A low histamine diet can be helpful. This is common in people with celiac disease and is blamed for most gluten sensitivity cases. FODMAP intolerance creates symptoms such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea even after gluten is eliminated.
Talk to your doctor further about how to diagnose and treat other food sensitivities. Sucrose Intolerance : Sucrose, aka common white table sugar, causes diarrhea, gas, and bloating. It used to be considered rare, but new research shows it is more common than previously thought, especially in people with underlying digestive problems.
The number is unknown for gluten sensitivity. Accidental of intentional gluten intake:This is the most common reason Lactose intolerance: This is common in the general population. In people requiring a gluten-free diet, it is even more prevalent Vitamin deficiencies: Ask your provider to check for common vitamin deficiencies- D, Iron, B12, Folate, Zinc, Vitamin E are the most commonly low Other food intolerances: These are real, and it requires some detective work to figure them out SIBO: Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth can cause significant symptoms.
Bring up the topic if it has not been mentioned. Celiac disease is a serious condition that can cause a host of negative symptoms, including digestive issues and nutritional deficiencies. Loose, watery stool is one of the first symptoms that many people experience before being diagnosed with celiac disease. Another study of people noted that diarrhea was the most frequent symptom of untreated celiac disease. For many patients, diarrhea was reduced within a few days of treatment, but the average time to fully resolve symptoms was four weeks 3.
However, keep in mind that there are many other possible causes of diarrhea, such as infection, other food intolerances or other intestinal issues.
Bloating is another common symptom that people with celiac disease experience. Celiac disease can cause inflammation in the digestive tract, which may result in bloating as well as many other adverse digestive issues 4. One study of 1, adults with celiac disease found that bloating was one of the most common symptoms. Another study showed that most patients with celiac disease experienced bloating.
This symptom resolved effectively after they eliminated gluten from their diets 3. One study looked at 34 people without celiac disease who were experiencing digestive issues.
These symptoms improved on a gluten-free diet. Participants then received either 16 grams of gluten or a placebo every day for six weeks. Within just one week, those eating gluten experienced the worsening of several symptoms, including significantly more bloating than they had experienced beforehand 6.
Besides celiac disease, other common culprits behind bloating include constipation, bowel obstruction, chronic gas and digestive disorders. In one small study, gas was one of the most common symptoms caused by gluten consumption in those with celiac disease 7. Similarly, a study looking at 96 adults with celiac disease in northern India reported that excess gas and bloating were present in 9.
However, keep in mind that there are many causes of gas. One study tested people complaining of increased gas and found that only two tested positive for celiac disease 9. Other, more common causes of gas include constipation, indigestion, swallowing air and conditions like lactose intolerance and irritable bowel syndrome IBS.
Decreased energy levels and fatigue are prevalent in those with celiac disease. One study of 51 celiac patients found that those who were untreated had significantly more severe fatigue and fatigue-related problems than those on a gluten-free diet Another study found that those with celiac disease were more likely to have sleep disorders, which could contribute to fatigue Additionally, untreated celiac disease can cause damage to the small intestine, resulting in vitamin and mineral deficiencies that may also lead to fatigue 12 , Another small study looking at elderly patients diagnosed with celiac disease noted that weight loss was one of the most common symptoms.
Following treatment, not only were symptoms completely resolved, but participants actually gained an average of 17 pounds 7. Similarly, another study looked at 42 children with celiac disease and found that introducing a gluten-free diet significantly increased body weight Unexplained weight loss could also be caused by conditions like diabetes, cancer, depression or thyroid problems.
