Celiac Disease - Herbal Treatment with Triphala

Celiac disease is a chronic digestive disorder. The damage to the lining of the small intestine leads to the mal-absorption of minerals and nutrients. The destruction of the inner lining of the small intestine in celiac disease is caused by an immunological reaction to gluten. Gluten is a family of proteins present in wheat, barley, rye etc. Children with celiac disease may result in stunted growth and short stature as an adult. Refractory celiac disease is a rare condition in which the symptoms of celiac disease do not improve and may progress to cancer, despite a strict gluten free diet. Celiac disease is most common in Europe and particularly in Ireland, Italy, Sweden and Austria. Celiac Disease may appear at any time in a person's life and it is more common in the elder people.

Celiac Disease is a multi-symptom disorder and symptoms in adults may include bowel disorders, recurring bloating, abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, constipation, unexpected weight loss or weight gain, pale and foul-smelling stool, anemia, joint pain, depression, fatigue, weakness, delayed growth or onset of puberty, missed menstrual periods, infertility in male & female and tooth discoloration or loss of enamel.

There is no cure for celiac disease. The treatment of celiac disease mostly includes gluten free diet and the patients' calls for complete avoidance of gluten for life. A gluten free diet includes total avoidance of all foods made from wheat, rye and barley. Some oat preparations can be contaminated with wheat and it is probably best to avoid oats during the initial treatment with a gluten free diet. It is better to consult dietitians for a list of gluten free foods. Natural home remedies cannot cure celiac disease, but they can help to alleviate most troublesome symptoms.

As per Ayurveda, celiac disease is the result of the wrong decisions by the immune cells. The immune cells are observed to be behaving abnormally to gluten. Although, all human beings do not have this hypersensitivity and it means gluten is not creating this disease. Ayurvedic treatment for celiac disease is aimed at correcting the immune system. Celiac Disease is the problem involving hypersensitivity of immune cells to gluten. The natural herbs correct the digestive disturbance and improve the absorption of nutrients from the food. The nutrition status of the body is severely affected because of improper absorption of micro nutrients. Another important aspect of Ayurveda is proper detoxification from the body. This is the only way to get rid of the diseases and it can only keep us in best of our health. Triphala is somewhat effective in the treatment of celiac disease. Triphala is a potent formula designed to support the body's natural cleansing process.
