Natural Remedies for Celiac Disease by Board-Certified Nutritional Specialist via Telehealth and from Forest Hills, Nassau County NY 11375
Scientists have conclusively documented the connection between the digestive and immune systems. A healthy digestive tract allows the immune system to work more effectively. An efficient immune system allows for better digestive processing. Problems arising in the gut frequently involve an issue with the immune system. Correcting the digestive process will improve overall health. Celiac disease is an example of how these two systems rely on each other.
Understanding Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is a chronic condition that affects the digestive system. It is an immune disorder that causes uncomfortable symptoms and can cause permanent damage to the body. Celiac disease can lead to the inability to absorb nutrients from food and cause patients to become malnourished.
Celiac requires people to forgo anything containing gluten like wheat, barley, and rye. However, gluten does not provide the body with any nutrition, so removing it from any diet will not cause harm.
Choose Natural Remedies for Celiac Disease
No medications or surgical procedures exist to stop a gluten allergy. It is probably discouraging to know this if you or a loved one suffer from the side effects of celiac disease. Celiac disease treatment focuses on the diet. Through diets and supplements, it is possible to put your celiac disease into remission and heal the body.
Diet modification and the right combination of whole food supplements can help a surprising number of people heal their bodies. This method allowed Dr. Robert Lichtenstein to defeat his stage 4 cancer twice. A Board-Certified Nutritional Specialist and chiropractor, Dr. Lichtenstein, understands how vital nutrition is when strengthening an immune system.
Small servings of gluten can trigger large-scale permanent damage in people with the disease. Healing means also becoming aware of non-food-related and unexpected gluten-containing products. Most people know to avoid bread, beer, and pasta. The problem for celiac patients is staying away from items like medication and cosmetics containing gluten.
Patients who choose natural therapeutic solutions for their celiac disease treatments will receive assistance in developing a healthy gluten-free diet. Targeted supplements help avoid malnutrition or will give the body what it needs to correct these concerns. In addition, the plans allow people to protect their digestive system and heal their immune system and body naturally and gently.
Celiac Disease Patient Testimonial
I was always careful with my diet and did what I could to avoid gluten. It was never enough. I was exhausted from the pain and constantly dealing with a cold, flu, or other medical problem. Developing a detailed plan with Dr. Lichtenstein helped me avoid all celiac triggers and gave my body the nutrients needed to thrive. The plan has helped me feel like a new person. I rarely experience any digestive issues anymore, and my health is better than it has been in years.

Symptoms of Celiac Disease
People with a gluten allergy will sometimes have health problems in childhood. It can take years to receive an accurate diagnosis, and many health problems can develop during this time. The symptoms possible in children includes the standard list of celiac symptoms. It also means the risk of additional concerns like short stature, delayed onset of puberty, and a failure to thrive. Common symptoms of celiac disease that can affect anyone with the illness include:
- Abdominal pain
- Bloating
- Weight loss
- Nausea and vomiting
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Itchy skin
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Osteoporosis
- Anemia
- Mouth ulcers
- Joint pain
- Spleen complications
- Tingling in hands and feet
- Poor balance
- Cognitive impairment
Causes of Celiac Disease
Most patients with celiac disease have specific normal gene variants. The genetic link offers the most risk, but the condition can develop in people without relatives with the disease. Studies continue to show that a damaged immune system from repeated infections during youth could play a role in the development of the illness.
Celiac disease is an autoimmune illness caused by an allergy to gluten. It causes the immune system to overreact and attack the body. The condition can begin in people who experience illness or another physically stressful event like pregnancy or surgery.
Potential Risks of Leaving Celiac Disease Untreated
Celiac disease remedies protect people from their allergies and help prevent additional illnesses from developing due to the condition. However, people who choose to eat what they want and suffer the consequences will experience more than a stomachache. Permanent damage can occur to the digestive system, and the constant exposure to gluten puts people at risk of developing other diseases and autoimmune illnesses. Some examples include:
- Multiple sclerosis
- Osteoporosis
- Infertility
- Type 1 diabetes
- Heart disease
- Certain cancers
- Chronic migraines
- Increased risk of miscarriage
