Symptoms of Gluten Intolerance

Numbness

It is might be surprising, but gluten intolerance can also lead to neuropathy, a condition that involves the tingling or numbness in your legs and arms. This sign is especially common in people with a deficiency of vitamin B12 and diabetes. In addition, it would be caused by alcohol consumption and toxicity. Nevertheless, people with gluten sensitivity and celiac disease are often at a higher risk of having leg and arm numbness, compared to other healthy people. Even though the accurate cause is still unknown, many scientists assume that it might be associated with the presence of a few antibodies related to gluten intolerance. Taking OTC drugs will not help alleviate the feeling. [8]
