There are many different symptoms to being allergic to gluten, it can be different for everyone and some are worse than others. Constant fatigue can be one. Getting sick and throwing up after eating wheat is another. Unexplained wait loss (you didn't change any habits-exercise, eating, etc.) I even know someone who got a lump on her throat because of it. Look it up more online and if you are really concerned, ask your doctor about it. There are tests that will tell you if you are. Or, you can cut out wheat and other gluten-products for a while and see if whatever problem(s) you have go away.
If you suspect you have a gluten intolerance remove gluten from your diet for two months and keep track of any changes in your physical and/or emotional symptoms.
You can get a physician or a lab to take a blood or stool test or do a biopsy but there are many reported cases of false diagnosis. The Gold Standard for allergy testing is an elimination diet.
In serve gluten cases there can be weight loss, or failure to gain weight (eg, failure to thrive in a child), delayed puberty, abdominal pain, bloating, large amounts of pale and smelly diarrhea, an itchy skin rash that resembles herpes, anemia, vitamin deficiencies, and others.
Physicians confirm their suspicion of the disease with blood tests and possibly biopsy of the small intestine. The blood tests tests identify antibodies in the blood that are targeted against proteins in the small intestine. These antibodies are called anti-tissue transglutaminase and anti-endomysial antibodies. Biopsy of the first part of the small intestine may show flattening of the intestinal wall (which normally has many finger-like projections that help absorption).
It is very common these days to have an aversion to gluten. Wheat in this day, is four times more glutinous than it used to be. 95% of the population is allergic or intolerant and doesn't know it. It is very hard for the body to break down gluten and therefore it causes many problems, the least of which is a slower metabolism.

gluten intolerance is one several underdiagnosed causes of chronic diarrhea. it is popularly known as the " sprue" or "celiac sprue", the main clinical feature is chronic diarrhea, weight loss and sometimes severe malnutrition. it is caused by the body's inability to digest gluten, a protein found on wheat products, subsequent metabolic transformation of this protein causes a chain of inflammatory reactions that results to the destruction of intestinal villi causing malabsorption and diarrhea. if you have the symptoms mentioned, consult your internist for more info.. - lowell n. avenido, md
when you observe that your feet are a little swollen, and may appear like you have shingles, that means you are in the 1st stage of Celiac. When ur fever goes up to 42 degrees, you are about to enter the 2nd stage. And this moment, the baby wld keep vomiting about 6 times a day.
