curing celiac

[Guest guest]

Let's be clear here, curing the symptoms (the flattened villi and other

problems) is a different issue than curing the condition itself.

 

The symptoms can be cured in in the vast majority of people who eat a 100%

gluten-free diet. However, the need to continue eating 100% gluten free

continues.

 

Gluten intolerance, whether it manifests as celiac or in any other symptom, is

based on a genetic trait. Asking a person to " cure " their genetic

predisposition to gluten intolerance is like asking a person to " cure " their eye

colour or size of their feet.

There is a thought that your intestinal flora have a lot to do with the

development of celiac as an adult. If one can get everything (that is vitamins,

minerals, beneficial microorganisms), then celiac may actually be cured. I

personally believe this to be the case, but there must be a lot of advances in

order for it to actually happen in the population as a whole. There is a whole

generation of doctors who still think celiac is a 1 in 10000 disease and that

diet does not affect health to the extent that it does and these guys are the

ones teaching new students in some cases! That being said, I believe most people

would beneifit from avoiding gluten during times of stress and during/after any

illness or pregnancy - just a thought. Many, many advances have been made in the

last ten years alone. I believe in correcting the underlying biochemistry!
