A member asked:
Is diarrhea a symptom of gluten insensitivity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : Gluten sensitivity commonly causes diarrhea, bloating and gas but can also result in constipation. Before going gluten free get a blood test for celiac first because after restricting gluten you may feel better but the ability to diagnose celiac disease is impaired because the blood test becomes normal early after going gluten free.
