Gluten allergy symptoms need to be checked out with your family doctor. You may not be allergic to gluten. Gluten allergies seem to be quite common now. But are you really sure it's gluten you're allergic to. Some allergy symptoms can be confused with others.
If you're not ready to head to the doctor's office quite yet then refer to the list of gluten allergy symptoms. Remember that allergy symptoms are different in everyone.
This by no means is a complete list of symptoms.

• Hives
• Swelling

Gluten allergies or intolerance and celiac disease are based on the premise that our body is unable to tolerate gluten. Being that Gluten is a protein in wheat the idea is to avoid any foods containing wheat or foods with gluten additives.
There are resources that will help you to decide if you have gluten allergies but the best is to see an allergy specialist.
I've recently discovered a resource which I have used to diagnose if I have allergies. Please visit www.naet.com. Dr. Devi Nambudripad specializes is determing and eliminating allergies using muscle testing while being exposed to the allergen. Using accupuncture and just 25 hours of abstinence from the allergen it is cleared from the body.
Check for a NAET practitioner in your area. Wouldn't it be great if you could eliminate this allergy instead of living with it.
