Less joint pain
If you often suffer from joint pain and you do have a gluten sensitivity, you may find that you can cut back on the painkillers, ease up on the use of supportive braces, and get back into the activities you love once you quit gluten. It can cause inflammation in the body when consumed by those with a sensitivity. The immune system jumps into action when you eat something to which you’re intolerant, which can cause inflammation in your joints and soft tissue. This may be visible on a surface level, too, through symptoms like swelling or red skin. That being said, there is a treatment currently in development meant to fight inflammation in individuals with celiac disease when they consume gluten.
