3)  Numbness in the extremities and joint pain.- Many people don't attribute these symptoms to gluten sensitivity, but they're often effective warning signs. The numbness feels like your limb has : fallen asleep" or " pins and needles". Joint pain will resemble that of arthritis, and is a result of local inflammation.
