Hello, you should have to stick to your diet that will help you to impruve..

Gluten is a protein composite found in wheat and related grains..which is having elastic type properties..and it sets off to immune system of people who having coeliac disease that may cause unpleasent symptoms like headache,stomach pain, digestive problems..

Gluten may causes sever damage to small intestine who are having coeliac disease..long elastic like string in your stool also may be due to gluten,which can also cause consripation...

So...feel good and stay with gluten free diet that make u feel healthy.. Thanks for asking..we will help you when ever you need
