Feeling Fuzzy? Gluten Brain Fog
Gluten Ingestion Symptoms
The clinical presentation of gluten sensitivities can vary due to the specific gluten related condition and level of sensitivity from which an individual suffers. As written by C Kessler, delaying the diagnosis of gluten sensitivities can have serious health consequences, as continued ingestion of gluten is associated with symptoms such as ‘malnutrition… fatigue, headache, joint and muscle pain… and depression or anxiety’ (2015). Commonly referred to as gluten brain fog.
Clinical research has revealed that continued gluten intake such as experienced by accidental gluten ingestion in those who suffer from gluten-related conditions can ‘directly affect mood and brain function’, which is why the strict maintenance of a gluten free diet is so important (2015). By taking GluteGuard, individuals can maximise their protection against hidden gluten and more successfully maintain their gluten free diet and risk of symptoms – find out more about how GluteGuard helps, here.
