Symptoms of Gluten Intolerance in Women: Swollen Feet and Ankles

Symptoms of Gluten Intolerance in Women:
Swollen Feet and Ankles

This symptom is one of the most telling of all symptoms of gluten intolerance in women. For sure it is among the most noticeable, since it manifests outwardly. By this I mean that you can see and observe it right away. It's not internal and it's not like one of the severe symptoms that can only be observed in due time, such as miscarriage and difficulty in conceiving a child.

This symptom is also helpful to observe because it combines two parts of your body that are distinct from other parts. With this I mean that once you notice that your feet and ankles are swollen (and not your feet and nose or your ankle and you ear) you can be alarmed. It's the combination of the swelling of the feet and the ankles that will tell you that indeed, there's a problem.

As symptoms of gluten intolerance in women, the swelling of the ankles and feet are very important signs that you are suffering from gluten intolerance. Although I made the nose and ears as examples of body parts which are not being necessarily affected by this illness, other body parts may be swollen as well because of gluten intake.

For instance, your face may swell along with your ankles and feet. Sometimes it's only the feet that is swollen. Nevertheless, if both your ankles and feet are swollen, that by itself is a strong indication that something is wrong and if you can at once stop eating gluten rich foods, do it. It's advisable for you not to eat those foods until you see your doctor and until he advises that you can eat them without being stricken with these symptoms.

The swelling of the hands may also accompany the swelling of the ankles and feet. All these swellings are caused by the fact that one of the effects of gluten intolerance is the abnormal retaining of water in the body. That excess of hydration causes the swelling. Other symptoms of gluten intolerance in women are also related to this.
