Are you experiencing symptoms that you or your doctor don't understand? Ruling out a gluten-related diagnosis may move you one step closer to wellness. Discovering whether you have celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, wheat sensitivity, or a wheat allergy is like piecing together a challenging puzzle. Random pieces don't make sense and won't until the whole picture fits together. Solving the Gluten Puzzle explains the symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatment for these ailments. Nearly 10 percent of the population is affected by one of four gluten-related disorders, which can cause more than two hundred symptoms, most of which are not digestive. These disorders can strike at any age. Unfortunately, a single diagnostic test to determine gluten sensitivity does not exist. Consequently, up to 80 percent of individuals are undiagnosed. Determine whether you suffer from one of these conditions and how to cure your symptoms by embracing a gluten-free lifestyle.
