Some people who are sensitive to gluten may experience numbness or tingling, especially in the extremities.
Unexplained weight loss or gain:
Changes in weight that cannot be explained by changes in diet or exercise may be related to gluten sensitivity. Some people lose weight while others gain weight.
It’s important to note that these symptoms can be caused by a variety of conditions, and gluten allergy should be diagnosed by a professional. If you suspect gluten sensitivity, it is important to consult a doctor before eliminating gluten from your diet, as this may affect the accuracy of the diagnostic test.
If gluten sensitivity is confirmed, a gluten-free diet is the primary treatment. However, it is recommended to consult a health care provider or registered dietitian to ensure proper nutritional balance and to eliminate potential deficiencies from eliminating gluten-containing grains.
