Bloated? Cramping? Here’s Help For Coeliac Disease
Coeliac Disease, also known as nontropical spruce and celiac spruce, is a disease that affects the gastrointestinal tract and is caused by a sensitivity to gluten. Coeliac disease can be triggered by many foods. There are however, several natural solutions that Wellness One’s naturopaths can help with for this painful condition.
Symptoms
Symptoms for Coeliac Disease can be quite diverse. They include bloating, cramping, diarrhea, abdominal pain, gas, malnutrition, and weight loss. You may also experience skin rashes, hives, eczema, and itching. It can also cause inflammation of the lungs, arthritis, and brain dysfunction. You may also notice that you have a greasy clay-colored stool that may be foul smelling. There may also be behavioral changes, fatigue, muscle cramps, and even seizures.
Causes of Coeliac Disease
All of these symptoms are a result of the villi (the small finger-like absorbers) in the small intestine being destroyed. The villi become so damaged they are unable to properly transfer nutrition from the food you eat into your blood stream. Coeliac disease is caused by sensitivity to gluten and although the exact reason this happens isn’t known, it appears that there is a genetic link since it does run in families.
