Celiac disease, auto immune disease, celiac dermatitis - #33170
My 8 years daughter has Celiac disease which is an auto ummune disease caused because of wheat allergy. She also has severe dermatitis (flaky patches on scalp, behind and inside ears, armpits, and body as well). I have tried different dermatologist but they always give her steroid lotion to put on her scalp and body. The problem gets solved for few days but it comes back again within 3 to 4 weeks. I have done some research and found out that this skin problem is also related to her gut health and is due to her celiac disease. I want to fix her gut. She is on strict gluten free diet since last 3 years. I have 2 question now. Is there any cure for celiac in ayurveda? And how can I get of her dermatitis?

1) Is there any cure for celiac in Ayurveda?
Ayurveda does not have a direct term for “Celiac disease” as it is a modern medical diagnosis. However, the symptoms are often correlated with a condition called Grahani Dosha. In Ayurveda, Grahani refers to the small intestine, and Dosha means a disorder or imbalance. Grahani Dosha is a chronic digestive disorder caused by a weakened digestive fire (Agni).
Ayurveda aims for a holistic approach to restore the body’s balance, not necessarily a “cure” in the conventional sense of eradicating the disease entirely, especially for an autoimmune condition like Celiac disease, which is a lifelong genetic disorder.
2. How can I get rid of her dermatitis?
The severe dermatitis you’re describing is almost certainly a manifestation of the Celiac disease itself, known as Dermatitis Herpetiformis (DH). The good news is that by addressing the root cause—the Celiac disease and her gut health—the dermatitis will likely improve. It’s a vicious cycle where a damaged gut can lead to inflammation that manifests on the skin.
Again, it is crucial to consult with a nearest qualified Ayurvedic doctor who can create a personalized plan for your daughter.
Hello Saria For celiac disease, cure is difficult, but ayurvedic medicine can strengthen her system and make her comfortable Start with Syrup livomyn 5ml. Twice daily after food with water Bael syrup 1tsp in a cup of water twice daily.or bael murabba 1tsp twice daily. Give buttermilk with pinch of asafoetida black salt and roasted jeera powder daily after lunch. Avoid wheat and wheat products and milk also. For skin she can apply coconut oil white petroleum jelly on affected skin areas.
