Celiac disease diagnosis, can Ayurveda help manage symptoms? - #16940
For years, I had no idea what was wrong with me. Every time I ate wheat or anything with gluten, I would feel bloated, get stomach cramps, and sometimes even have diarrhea. I thought maybe it was just occasional indigestion or food poisoning, but it kept happening. Then, last year, things got worse—I was constantly tired, my hair started falling out more than usual, and my skin looked really dull. No matter how much I ate, I felt weak and drained. After months of dealing with this, I finally got tested, and the results confirmed celiac disease. My doctor told me I need to completely avoid gluten, but it's been really hard. Even when I think I’m eating safe foods, I sometimes still get symptoms. Maybe there’s hidden gluten in something, or my gut is just really damaged from years of eating the wrong things. Now I’m wondering if there’s anything in Ayurveda that can help heal my digestion and improve nutrient absorption. Does Ayurveda have treatments to repair the gut lining after damage from celiac disease? I read that some herbs like triphala and licorice root are good for digestion—do they help in my case? Also, are there specific Ayurvedic diets that can be followed for celiac disease that don’t just focus on avoiding gluten but also strengthen the digestive fire? Another thing I struggle with is anxiety, which I’ve heard can be connected to gut health. Can Ayurveda help balance both my digestion and my stress levels? I really don’t want to rely only on Western medicine. If anyone has used Ayurvedic remedies for celiac disease, I’d love to hear about what worked.
