Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition in which the body reacts to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. This hypersensitivity leads to inflammation and damage in the small intestine, causing issues with digestion and nutrient absorption. Managing celiac disease involves strict adherence to a gluten-free diet to prevent symptoms and promote gut healing. At Revere Health, we provide dietary guidance and support to help patients with celiac disease manage their condition and maintain a healthy, active lifestyle.
Symptoms of Celiac Disease
Digestive Issues: Symptoms such as diarrhea, bloating, gas, and abdominal pain are common when gluten is consumed.
Malnutrition: Damage to the small intestine can prevent the absorption of nutrients, leading to weight loss, anemia, and fatigue.
Skin Rashes: A skin condition called dermatitis herpetiformis may develop in some individuals with celiac disease.
Dietary and Lifestyle Management
Gluten-Free Diet: The cornerstone of managing celiac disease is a strict gluten-free diet. This involves avoiding all foods that contain wheat, barley, rye, and their derivatives.
Nutritional Support: Our specialists provide guidance on maintaining a balanced diet to prevent deficiencies and support overall health.
Exercise and Wellness: Regular exercise helps improve digestion, support bone health, and maintain a healthy weight, all of which are important for managing celiac disease.
