If you are having digestive problems, feel unwell, or are diagnosed with gluten sensitivity and have not found relief, it’s time to consider functional medicine. At David Chiropractic LLC, we offer functional medicine for patients who are looking for ways to improve their health without the use of medication.
Gluten and Gluten Sensitivity Symptoms
Gluten is a combination of proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. It gives dough its elasticity and allows bread to rise. Some people are sensitive to gluten, others have celiac disease, and a third group can have a wheat allergy. People with gluten sensitivity can experience bloating, joint pain, headaches, problems with concentration, anemia and more. Those with gluten sensitivity often see a marked improvement in their health when they avoid gluten in their diet.
Understanding Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where the body reacts poorly to proteins in wheat. Someone with celiac disease who routinely ingests gluten damages his or her small intestine over time and the only real treatment is to avoid gluten completely. Good nutrition through functional medicine can reduce or eliminate symptoms, providing a better quality of life.
Wheat Allergies
The body of someone with a wheat allergy overreacts to the proteins in wheat, causing an allergic response. This allergic response can be mild to severe, ranging from hives to life-threatening anaphylaxis. When you have an allergy to wheat, avoiding wheat is the best treatment.
