So you're feeling miserable—perhaps stomach related, conceivably skin-related or even neurological—and you're pondering, do these manifestations mean I have a gluten sensitivity? Or maybe the idea of gluten never crossed your mind, all you want is benadryl for fast relief! You may be shocked to discover that there are a few unique conditions that point to a "gluten sensitivity," that you have been misdiagnosing as seasonal allergies. The truth is your favorite foods could be the culprit.
Medical science doesn't really put a lot of emphasis on "gluten hypersensitivity." However, if you listen to any of Dr.Joel Wallach's lectures you will find out that not only does gluten cause an inflammatory response leading to the classic allergy symptoms, but gluten is also the root cause of many inflammatory dis-eases including arthritis, lupus and many others. Why? According to Wallach, inflammation creates malabsorption of nutrients and all disease leading to death is caused by nutritional deficiency.
If you know someone who claims to be gluten intolerant they may suffer from one of four distinct conditions: celiac infection, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, dermatitis herpetiformis or gluten ataxia.
None of these is a genuine hypersensitivity. Actually, a gluten sensitivity really implies a wheat hypersensitivity, which is a genuine sensitivity. Keep reading for additional information!

Bothersome, red, watery eyes
Hives as well as bothersome rashes

Hypersensitivity is a medical crisis. Immediately call 911 if you or someone close to you in in crisis!
Dermatitis Herpetiformitis: The Itchiest Rash Possible
Gluten can cause a skin rash. However, this rash is not the aftereffect of a genuine hypersensitivity: dermatitis herpetiformis is an immune system skin condition that happens when you've eat gluten grains. Side effects include:
Blushed skin
Different little knocks that look like pimples
Tingling and consuming
Purple imprints where knocks are recuperating
Dermatitis herpetiformis can happen anyplace on your body, however the most widely recognized areas for this rash are your gluts, elbows, knees and on the back of your neck. In case you're going to have an episode, the tingling for the most part begins even before you see the bumps show up. The condition is firmly identified with celiac infection.
Gluten Ataxia: Alarming Cerebrum Issue
The remainder of the potential "gluten hypersensitivity" conditions is the most annoying: a cerebrum issue called gluten ataxia. When you experience the ill effects of gluten ataxia, your brain is affected and some damage may be irreversible. Indications of gluten ataxia include:
Issues with walking and running

Gluten ataxia is beast! Sufferers may begin with what may appear like a minor weakness leading to debility. While one in four individuals determined to have gluten ataxia has the trademark of celiac infection, only one in 10 (and not really similar individuals) has gastrointestinal side effects.
Which 'Gluten Sensitivity' Do You Have?
It's unmistakable you can't tell from symptoms alone. Actually it doesn't really matter. The remedy is easy, yet it requires some prayer and will power. Prayer to ask God for strength to stop you from eating foods that give you quick energy and slow death and will power to self talk yourself out of something bad that you think tastes so good.
You could see a dermatologist or gastroenterologist and subject yourself to an invasive colonoscopy which requires a light sedative and a horrible 24 hour laxative.
