Do eating flour cause cramps and less energy?

There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that eating flour causes cramps and less energy. However, some people may experience these symptoms if they have a wheat allergy or intolerance.

Wheat allergies are relatively rare, affecting about 1% of the population. Symptoms of a wheat allergy can include cramps, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, hives, and difficulty breathing. Wheat intolerance is more common, affecting about 15% of the population. Symptoms of wheat intolerance can include cramps, bloating, gas, and diarrhea.

If you are experiencing cramps and less energy after eating flour, it is important to see a doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions. If you are diagnosed with a wheat allergy or intolerance, you will need to avoid eating foods that contain wheat.
