Inflammation and Celiac Disease

Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disease, which means that you cannot “grow out” of it.

The treatment for both celiac disease and non-celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity is lifelong adherence to a strict gluten-free diet.

The gluten-free diet heals the villous atrophy in the small intestine, causing symptoms to resolve. Following the gluten-free diet also helps prevent future complications, including malignancies.

Commonly, people with celiac disease are deficient in:

- Fiber

- Iron

- Calcium

- Magnesium

- Zinc

- Folate

- Niacin

- Riboflavin

- Vitamin B12

- Vitamin D

- Calories

- Protein

Deficiencies in copper and vitamin B6 are also possible, but less common.

Supplementation of B12 and folate may help individuals with celiac disease recover from anxiety and depression caused by vitamin deficiencies.

However, patients may continue to be vitamin B deficient as the gluten-free diet may not provide sufficient supplementation.

This can be remedied with a daily, gluten-free multivitamin. The multivitamin should not exceed 100% of the daily value (DV) for vitamins and minerals.

Calcium and vitamin D supplementation may also be prescribed by your physician if your intake is not sufficient.

Eating gluten with Celiac can wind up being disastrous and hazardous for your health. Causing a cascade of symptoms and other problems.

Managing stress, thru meditation and exercise like yoga, Tai Chi, Qigong, is extremely beneficial to your health; as stress shuts down your immune system and your gut, and can cause further damage to your body.

Thru diet, exercise to stimulate new mitochondria growth, and supporting your methylation cycles; your body can detox faster, heal faster, and support your overall health.
