Abdominal discomfort is fairly common, which means it is often difficult to pinpoint its cause. Serious abdominal pain may result from blockages in the digestive tract or inflammation in liver or gallbladder.
Both gluten sensitivity and celiac disease are reactions to proteins found in wheat gluten. Abdominal pain, irritable bowel, and weight loss are just some of the symptoms associated with gluten sensitivity and celiac disease.
Because IgA is the immunoglobulin of the mucous membranes, IgA reactions often result in digestive symptoms like abdominal discomfort, irritable bowel and bloating. Runny nose and excess mucous may also be signs of an IgA food reaction.
IgG food sensitivities have been implicated in migraine headaches and irritable bowel syndrome (alternating diarrhea and constipation). Bloating and indigestion are also common food sensitivity reactions, as is fatigue. Continued consumption of reactive foods may contribute to weight gain and/or difficult losing weight. Ezcema is also commonly associated with food reactions.
