Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder affecting the small intestine, triggered by the ingestion of gluten — a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and related grains. When a person with celiac disease eats gluten, their immune system reacts abnormally, causing inflammation and damage to the intestinal lining (villi). This leads to poor absorption of nutrients, resulting in various gastrointestinal and systemic symptoms.

It is a genetically predisposed condition, more common in individuals with HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 genes. The disease can appear in childhood or adulthood, and symptoms vary widely from digestive disturbances to systemic effects.

Common causes and risk factors:

• Genetic predisposition
• Autoimmune disorders (thyroiditis, type 1 diabetes)
• Family history of celiac disease
• Early exposure to gluten
• Intestinal infections or gut dysbiosis

Symptoms include:

• Chronic diarrhea or constipation
• Abdominal pain, bloating, and gas
• Weight loss and poor appetite
• Fatigue, weakness, or anemia (due to iron, B12, or folate deficiency)
• Mouth ulcers and skin rashes (dermatitis herpetiformis)
• Growth retardation in children
• Joint pains or bone weakness due to calcium and vitamin D malabsorption

The only proven conventional treatment is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet, which allows intestinal healing and symptom relief.

Homeopathy offers a holistic and supportive approach to celiac disease. While eliminating gluten from the diet remains essential, homeopathic remedies can help by:

• Reducing digestive inflammation and improving absorption
• Relieving abdominal discomfort and regulating bowel function
• Restoring vitality and correcting nutritional deficiencies
• Modulating autoimmune tendencies and improving immunity
• Addressing emotional and constitutional imbalances

Remedies are chosen individually, considering digestive symptoms, constitutional type, emotional state, and associated systemic issues (anemia, skin eruptions, fatigue, etc.).

Homeopathy is not a substitute for a gluten-free diet, but it supports gut healing, reduces sensitivity, and enhances overall health.anagement
