7. Celiac Disease
Gluten is a type of protein that is found in wheat, as well as a number of other grains. Wheat flour is a very common ingredient in foods, particularly cakes, bread, and cereals.
This is not a problem for most people, but not everybody is so fortunate. Some people have a bad reaction to gluten and this results in a number of unwelcome symptoms for them. Approximately 1 in 100 people have the condition, which is known as celiac disease. It causes symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, anemia, and tiredness. It often goes undiagnosed, but it is relatively easy to get an accurate diagnosis, so see a doctor if you have the symptoms.
