Signs Of Gluten Intolerance You Should Stop Ignoring

Excessive Gas

The inability to digest gluten properly often leads to a build-up of gas. However, some researchers are beginning to believe gluten isn’t actually the cause of excessive gas. Gluten is a protein and gas is most often caused when bacteria attack carbohydrates that enter the large intestine. In the case of an individual with gluten intolerance, these carbohydrates may be substances called Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides, and Polyols, or FODMAPs. These types of carbohydrates are often found in wheat, rye and barley products. The body doesn’t digest FODMAPs well, even if the individual isn't intolerant to gluten. As a result, bacteria cause them to ferment in the colon and produce gas. Some researchers believe FODMAPs not only play a role in developing excessive gas but in the joint and muscle pain associated with gluten intolerance.
