Symptoms of Gluten Intolerance

Anemia

Anemia or iron deficiency is the most common type of nutrient deficiency. It leads to many symptoms such as weakness, pale skin, headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, fatigue, and low blood flow. The condition is caused when nutrient absorption in your large intestine is damaged, thus leading to a lowered amount of absorbed iron from the blood. In fact, iron deficiency might be one of the first signs of gluten intolerance that your doctors might notice. Some recent studies have shown that anemia might be noticeable in both adults and children with gluten intolerance. [7]
