10 Symptoms of a Gluten Allergy
Symptom #6: Depression
Depression is a very unpleasant condition that we still have a great deal to learn about. It poses a very real threat of suicide; depression is one of the biggest killers of men. Although it is still not fully understood, we do know it is linked to a number of factors and a gluten allergy is one of them.
Gluten intolerance can lead to improper absorption of nutrients, which in itself can contribute to depression. In addition, gluten allergies are thought to contribute to changes in the make-up of bacteria colonies in the gut, while also affecting the natural balances of hormones in the body. Regardless of the suspected cause, depression is a killer and should be taken seriously.
