19 Signs You May Be Gluten Intolerant (SLIDESHOW)

Are you’re feeling tired and headachy, and your digestive system is off (and has been for what seems like forever)? Or maybe you have some other symptoms: some dandruff, a rash, or a frequent feeling that you’re operating in a depressed and disorganized manner.

You know that lots of people are going gluten-free, and you start to wonder: Could I be gluten intolerant, too?

Not everyone with these symptoms will have a gluten intolerance or allergy as there are plenty of other possible causes for each. But the possibility is worth considering if you and your physician can’t identify other potential reasons for your problems.

Gluten intake in patients with gluten intolerance can cause extreme cases of fatigue. If you ever sleep for as long as 11 hours and still wake up to find yourself tired to the bones and feeling lazy as if you were drugged, the reason is gluten intolerance most probably. This extreme exhaustion can persist for the greater part of your day and for several days on end. When your body is in a state of inflammation, it is spending its resources faster than they can be refilled. This leads to a gradual decrease in available energy stores, and you begin to witness a gradually increasing fatigue and exhaustion. Gluten intolerance signs are often diagnosed among patients of exhaustion, and they work as a marker for the disorder.
