Celiac disease is a small intestinal disease, and there is an immunological reaction on the inner surface of the small intestine to the protein (gluten) present in the small intestine, viscera, barley, and wheat. This reaction causes inflammation, which destroys the inner layer of the small intestine. This reduces absorption of food nutrients and may cause symptoms and signs of nutritional, vitamin, mineral deficiency symptoms. Celiac disease is also known as sprue, non-tropical sprue, gluten enteropathy and adult celiac disease. Common symptoms include diarrhea, foul odor, abdominal distension, increased stool fat mass, weight loss, fluid retention, anemia, osteoporosis, easy contusion, peripheral neuropathy, infertility and muscle weakness.
Most patients with celiac disease improve with gluten-free diet, but some patients still have refractory symptoms. Celiac disease Ayurveda treatment is aimed at ameliorating symptoms and improving the basic causes of disease by repairing the inner surface inside the small intestine. Medicines such as Shiba-Vati, Laghu-Sutshekhar-Ras, Amalaki (Emblica officinalis), Sunthi (Zinziber officinalis), Marich (Piper nigrum), Pippali (Piper longum), Chitrak (Plumbago zeylanica), Samudradi-Lavan, Lavan - Bhaskar-Churna, Hingashtak-Churna and Lashunadi-Vati can be treated to treat symptoms of flatulence and bloating. Medicines such as Sunthi, Musta (Cyperus rotundus), Kutaj (Holarrhina antidysentrica), Kutaj-Ghan-Vati and Kutaj-Parpati can be used to treat diarrhea. Liquid retention is treated using medications such as Punarnavadi-Qadha, Saarivadi-Churna, and Gokshuradi-Guggulu. Anemia and osteoporosis can be treated with medicines such as Tapyadi-Loh, Punarnavadi-Mandur, Shankh-Bhasma, Shrung-Bhasma and Praval-Panchamrut-Bhasma.
Such as Panchamrut-Parpati, Suvarna-Parpati, Suvarna-Malini-Vasant, Yashtimadhuk (Glycerrhiza glabra), Saariva (Hemidesmus indicus), Praval-Bhasma, Sutshekhar-Ras, Suvarna-Sutshekhar-Ras, Musta and Bilva (Aegle Marmelos) Pharmaceuticals are used over the long term to regenerate the inner layer of the small intestine. When the internal mucosa becomes normal, absorption of nutrients from digested foods begins, which can cure symptoms such as weight loss, fluid retention and weakness.
It is important for patients with celiac disease to regularly take vitamins and mineral supplements. The affected person has to consult a nutritionist about the list of gluten free foods and carefully read the food and product labels before purchasing and consuming food.
