This favors the appearance of symptoms such as: stomach pain, gas, change in mood and weight gain; the latter because the main source of gluten is in processed products: cookies, sweet bread.

It is not all. Excessive consumption of gluten can have effects on the body's bowel movements: it causes constipation. This is due to an instruction that prevents the body from discarding what you do not need.
