3. Abdominal Cramps

Gluten sensitivity and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms tend to go hand in hand, whether someone has celiac disease or not. Symptoms of IBS include gas, constipation, and diarrhea, all of which cause abnormal intestinal muscle contractions that result in painful abdominal cramps.

Quick Tips to Ease Abdominal Pain

  • Use a heating pad or hot water bottle and apply warmth to your belly.
  • Eat carefully and avoid large, heavy meals.
  • Watch your posture. Hunching over can make cramps feel worse.
  • Stress can worsen symptoms. Quiet the mind with meditation and soothing music, or try mindful breathing techniques.
