Do you frequently feel cold, even when others are comfortable? Are your hands and feet often icy, regardless of the season? Gluten intolerance can contribute to poor circulation and disrupt thyroid function, leading to symptoms similar to hypothyroidism. If you’re always bundling up while others are fine, it may be worth exploring gluten as a possible cause.

If you constantly feel like you have a mild cold or suffer from chronic sinus congestion, gluten could be contributing to inflammation in your nasal passages. Many people with gluten sensitivity experience persistent stuffiness, postnasal drip, or sinus pressure without having allergies. Cutting out gluten has helped some individuals breathe more easily and reduce their reliance on antihistamines.
