9. Autoimmune diseases
Numerous individuals with autoimmune disorders have a history of gluten sensitivity. When gluten enters the intestines, the immune system targets the cells there, resulting in celiac disease, an autoimmune condition. The issue is made worse by the fact that this autoimmune disease raises the possibility of getting other autoimmune conditions such as multiple sclerosis, vitiligo, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, autoimmune thyroiditis, and autoimmune liver disease.
How to treat gluten sensitivity?
1. Get tested. Your doctor will draw a blood sample and look for antibodies that are common in the blood of patients with Celiac disease. Before the examination, you should include gluten in your diet to avoid erroneous results.
2. Remove gluten from your diet. It is contained in:
Wheat, rye, bulgur, flour, and semolina are common ingredients in various meals.
Always inspect the product’s composition. Give preference to products with the label “gluten-free.”
