What are the signs of a gluten allergy, and how is it diagnosed in Europe?

Gluten allergy explained: coeliac disease, wheat allergy, gluten sensitivity, symptoms, and testing criteria.

In this episode, we outline 12 ways to recognise possible gluten-related reactions and how doctors distinguish between coeliac disease, IgE-mediated wheat allergy, and non-coeliac gluten sensitivity.

You’ll learn:

• Common digestive symptoms: bloating, diarrhoea, abdominal pain

• Unexplained weight loss or nutrient deficiencies

• Skin reactions such as dermatitis herpetiformis

• Fatigue or brain fog after gluten consumption

• Anaemia linked to malabsorption

• Immediate allergic symptoms (hives, swelling) in wheat allergy

• When blood tests for coeliac antibodies are required

• Why gluten should not be removed before diagnostic testing

We explain how doctors assess symptom timing, family history, autoimmune risk, nutritional status, and previous dietary changes during an online consultation in the EU. Confirming coeliac disease requires specific blood tests and sometimes intestinal biopsy.

This episode reflects the clinical standards used by Mobi Doctor, where gastrointestinal and allergy-related consultations are reviewed by a registered physician in line with EU medical guidance.
