The quality of your health depends upon
many pieces that not only include the
health of your bodily systems, but also
include a healthy diet, exercise, and
spirituality.
Diet. Treatment of celiac disease centers
on developing general healthy dietary
guidelines, in addition to maintaining a
100% gluten-free diet for life. Avoiding
dietary gluten can eliminate all the
complications of this disease.
Dietary recommendations for celiac
disease:
* Because malabsorption is prevalent
with celiac disease, daily vitamin and
mineral supplementation is essential.
Important supplements for celiac disease
include iron, B vitamins, magnesium,
calcium and vitamin D.
* Add organic extra virgin coconut oil
to your diet to benefit from healthy
plant-based saturated fat.
* Add foods rich in omega-3 essential
fatty acids to your diet in the form of
ground flax meal, wild-caught salmon,
minimal-mercury albacore tuna, walnuts,
fish oil, and sprouted walnuts.
* Eat plenty of vegetables and
vegetable juices (kelp, sprouts, green and
black olives, peppers, spinach, chard,
celery, zucchini).
* Add nutrient-dense and unprocessed
foods such as sprouted nuts and seeds to
your diet.
* Drink purified water throughout the
day.
Foods and other products to AVOID
include:
* All foods that contain gluten in the
form of wheat, rye, barley, and oats.
* All processed foods that contain
gluten as an ingredient. Read all
processed food labels carefully for hidden
gluten. Foods that may contain gluten
include canned soups, salad dressings, ice
cream, candy bars, instant coffee,
luncheon meats, ketchup, mustard,
processed and canned meats, yogurt, and
sausages.
* All supplements that contain gluten.
Wheat starch can be used as a binding
agent in tablets and capsules.
* Cosmetics. Gluten can be found in
cosmetic products such as lipstick.
* All grain alcohols such as beer and
malted liquors.
* All dairy products, since those with
celiac disease also tend to suffer from
lactose intolerance.
* All foods containing refined sugar
or artificial sugar-substitutes such as
aspartame, Splenda®, etc. Choose a
natural sweetener like Xylosweet instead.
* Excessive caffeine intake – While
moderate amounts of caffeine may be
beneficial, excessive consumption of
caffeine can disrupt the body’s systems,
causing irregularity (constipation or
diarrhea)
* Sweetened fruit juices that spike
blood sugar levels too rapidly
* Carbonated soft drinks that alter pH
levels, making the blood more acidic
* Bottom crawlers, such as oysters,
clams, and lobster that may contain toxic
levels of mercury
* Deep-sea fish such as tuna,
mackerel, and swordfish that may contain
toxic levels of mercury. Choose
minimal-mercury albacore tuna instead.
* Sodium nitrite found in processed
foods such as hot dogs, lunch meats, and
bacon
* Monosodium glutamate (MSG) found in
many foods as a flavor enhancer
* Hydrogenated or partially
hydrogenated oils (trans fats) found in
many processed foods, deep-fried foods,
fast food, and junk food – Read more
about good fats and bad fats.
* Products (such as soy milk and ice
cream) that contain carrageenan, a seaweed
extract that’s added to foods to retain
their creamy texture. For some people,
carrageenan irritates the stomach.
Other tips for Celiac Disease
* If you have “silver” dental
fillings, get an evaluation from a
mercury-free dentist who specializes in
the safe removal of mercury amalgam
fillings. Heavy metal toxicity may cause
gastrointestinal symptoms. Find a
mercury-free dentist in your area now!

Exercise. Regular exercise that makes you
sweat improves general health by aiding in
healthy detoxification and relaxing the
bowel.
