Gluten intolerance, also known as non-celiac gluten sensitivity, affects more people than we might think — and it doesn’t always show up in obvious ways. While many associate gluten sensitivity with bloating or stomach pain, its symptoms can go far beyond digestion.
Here are 10 surprising signs you may be gluten intolerant — and not even know it.
1. Frequent Headaches or Migraines
If you suffer from regular headaches or migraines without a clear cause, gluten might be a hidden trigger. Studies have shown a link between gluten sensitivity and chronic headaches, especially in people who don’t respond to typical treatments.
2. Brain Fog
Ever feel mentally “cloudy” or forgetful after meals? That fuzzy-headed feeling could be gluten-related. Many gluten-sensitive individuals report difficulty concentrating, poor memory, and a general lack of mental clarity.
3. Chronic Fatigue
Feeling tired all the time — even after a full night’s sleep? Gluten intolerance can lead to fatigue due to inflammation, poor nutrient absorption, and disrupted sleep patterns. If your energy is constantly low, gluten might be to blame.
