Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition, meaning the body reacts negatively to gluten (found in wheat, barley, and rye). While it’s true that there is no permanent cure, the right diet and lifestyle can help her live a completely normal and healthy life without symptoms.

Celiac disease can indeed feel overwhelming, but remember, it's all about managing, not curing. In Ayurveda, we see health through the lens of balance, primarily involving the doshas - Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. For your niece, adjustments need to focus on her digestive fire, or 'agni', which is commonly compromised in celiac cases. First, embrace a gluten-free diet, sticking to rice, quinoa, and gluten-free oats as safe grain options. Encourage colorful foods that nurture agni - like ghee and ginger, which can be added in small amounts to meals to enhance digestion. Packed with vital nutrients, lentils and chickpeas can be part of her meals, provided she tolerates them well. Meanwhile, avoiding gluten is paramount, and consuming freshly cooked meals reduces any burden on her system. Incorporate Ayurveda’s take on herbal support; Ashwagandha can be beneficial, in consultation with a qualified practitioner. It has adaptogenic properties that support overall well-being. Another supportive herb is licorice root, which may aid the gut's health. Ensure any use of herbs accounts for your niece's specific conditions, dosage should be supervised by an expert to prevent adverse effects. Stress on routine is another. Establish calm mealtimes to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, vital for digestion. Involve her in gluten-free meal preparations, turning it into a positive, shared activity. Also, morning yoga or simple pranayama (breathing exercises) can help her cope with emotional stress. Remember, it's not only the dietary restrictions but the joy around meals that also counts. As Ayurveda emphasizes, keeping a positive mindset is healing itself. Formação support around her to help her adapt to these changes gently. Keeping open lines of communication with her healthcare providers in Spain is also essential, as they can offer support tailored to her immediate medical needs. Lastly, seek immediate advice if she experiences any alarming symptoms, never hesitating to prioritize urgent care when necessary.
