There is only one cure to celiac disease, and gluten intolerance which have very similar symptoms, and to gluten allergy that is basically caused by wheat only: AVOID GLUTEN COMPLETELY.
If you suspect gluten intolerance due to the symptoms mentioned below, test yourself or get tested.
Dr. Peter Green from Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University explains why it is still so hard to diagnose celiac, gluten intolerance or allergy: http://delightglutenfree.com/petergreen
Migraines, due to celiac, combined with lactose intolerance, is a condition TASTE LIFE founder Katinka Socrat often enough experienced herself. Read the backgrounds of the triggers, which of iron deficiencies is one of the majors, on http://delightglutenfree.com/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease
In many cases the safest diagnostic tool you can do yourself is to get on a strictly gluten free diet for three month. Blood tests, and even biopsies of the intestinal tissues often prove false negative. See how you feel with your diet, and observe if there are changes to your well being.
If nothing changes, most likely gluten intolerance is not the origin of your health problems.
But if you feel better or much better, if your symptoms even disappear completely, gluten intolerance obviously IS the root of the problem.
To cross check, introduce gluten again after three months for only 3 days – and when your symptom(s) return NEVER DO THAT AGAIN.
Of course, you shouldn't try that test at all on children if you suspect celiac in them! Dr. Stephano Guandalini, MD, from
Celiac Disease Center at the University of Chicago gave delightglutenfree.com a prospect of how diagnostics on children are going to look like in the near future.
The diagnose of celiac or gluten intolerance may come as a shock. And at first sight, it may eben look as if you can't eat anything at all. But fact is: You can have everything. Only the flours used in your diet need to change.
Unortunately, there is nothing like a 99% gluten free diet. You are either on or off.
That may sound heavy, discouraging, and complicated. But you will see your reward every day when you look into your mirror!
The way you look and feel vivid, healthy, and happy will be better than you can imagine.
FIRST AID HOMEOPATHY
You can't heal gluten intolerance with homeopathy. But it can do a great job as first aid in relieving acute symptoms, and to stabalize your immune response to even the slightest trace of gluten.
Homeopathic remedies are highly diluted, and dynamized extracts mainly based on plants, and minerals. Homeopathy is natural, gentle, without harming side effects, but very powerful in its effects though.
Rule no.1 on homeopathy: Only take the little white pills (called globuli – based on saccharose), 3 at a time. No tablets (they contain wheat starch – gluten! – and lactose), no liquids (they contain alcohol). The little pills (globuli) work perfectly with the youngest children, and even new born babies. You stop taking (or giving) homeopathic remedies as soon as you (or the patient) feel better.
The 4 most important remedies when it comes to gluten intolerance symptoms are
- Okoubaka D3 is the homeopathic detox when you ate gluten by chance, or without knowing
- Nux vomica D12 you use when you feel very nauseous in the morning, very stressed out, and overwhelmed, as if you had TOO MUCH of everything. Your stomach feels as if you had swallowed a stone. It's the most important homeopathic "hang over" medicine. Amazingly enough, you feel better after vomitting.
- Chamomilla D12 is the classic homeopathic colic remedy, and particularly for children it is worth a try. They scream, are extermely angry; tummy hurts, nothing can satisfy them, whatever you give them to comfort them – they throw it away! They have diarrhea, and only carrying them around can soothe their rage.
- Colocynthis D12 helps when you have severe stomach cramps so that you pull your legs towards your belly, and press your hands on it. You need heat to ease the pain.
In acute situations, like pain, colics or nausea, you take 3 globuli every 15 minutes. Choose that one of the remedies above that is most similar to your symptoms. If they get better, reduce the intervals to every 30 minutes, than to an hour. Stop taking globuli, when the symptoms disappear.
If you hit the right remedy, your spirit will be better within minutes, and physical symptoms disappear within hours. The way homeopathy works is to activate the right response of the immune system to the challenge.
