People with gluten intolerance, how did you first notice this? What were your symptoms?? My girlfriend went to the doctor and he said she had the irritable bowel syndrome, but hasn't even expected gluten intolerance. She started feeling this way maybe when she was 18-19 years old... |
Just wanted to say that gluten intolerance and celiac disease are very different and have their own symptoms. Sorry if you already know that, but a lot of people think they're the same thing when celiac disease can slowly kill you if you continue to eat gluten.
Has she been tested for celiac? If she has, she should attempt a gluten free diet anyways and see how she feels. I had horrible muscle pain, weakness, brain fog, headaches, mood changes, dermatitis herpetiformis on my hands, malabsorption, chronicly low vitamin d, possible anemia, swelling up like a balloon, abdominal pains, developing a ton of food allergies, low cholesterol, gallstones for no reason, and another autoimmune disease (thyroid issues are common in celiacs).

I should also point out that comparing vegetarianism to environmentalism is a terrible analogy, for several obvious reasons. |
Vegetarianism plays a huge role in environmentalism, however.
