NEW INNOVATIONS IN HOLISTIC
NUTRITION FOR NO LONGSTANDING
CELIAC DISEASE

Celiac disease is an immune-based reaction to dietary gluten (storage pro-
tein for wheat, barley, and rye) that primarily affects the small intestine
in those with a genetic predisposition and resolves with exclusion of gluten
from the diet. There has been a substantial increase in the prevalence of ce-
liac disease over the last 50 years and an increase in the rate of diagnosis in
the last 10 years. Celiac disease can present with many symptoms, including
typical gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., diarrhoea, steatorrhoea, weight loss,
bloating, flatulence, abdominal pain) and also non-gastrointestinal abnormal-
ities (e.g., abnormal liver function tests, iron deficiency anaemia, bone dis-
ease, skin disorders, and many other protean manifestations). Indeed, many
individuals with celiac disease may have no symptoms at all. Celiac disease
is usually detected by serologic testing of celiac-specific antibodies. The di-
agnosis is confirmed by duodenal mucosal biopsies. Both serology and biop-
sy should be performed on a gluten-containing diet.
A pilot research study is carried out on new innovations in holistic nutrition in
recently diagnosed celiac disease patients. This is a preventive and curative
therapy, which promotes balance and integrates body-mind-soul. A calm dis-
position stemming from relaxation techniques, holistic nutrition and diet ther-
apy and changes in gut microbioms heals digestive issues and brings positive
changes in the metabolism. This process adds to the physical strength and
brings behavioural changes, which ensure that disease does not recur nor
does it lead to any loss of vitality. The therapy comprises of a blend of lifestyle
changes, detoxification, deep relaxation techniques and oral food chelation
therapy. Till date the findings suggest that celiac patients went back to eating
gluten without damaging their health, which can be confirmed by serological
test and biopsy. I believe there is a close relationship between the mind and
body, their interactions hold the key to successful interventions in the arena
of treating celiac disease.
Richa Jain has completed her post-graduation in dietet-
ics and public health nutrition at the age of 25 years
from Lady Irwin College, India. Also she is an alternative
medicine consultant and holistic healer with 9 years of
experience in preventing and treating obesity and celiac
disease. She is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in
ayurveda, medicine and surgery while expanding my pro-
fessional work to treating celiac disease via an integrated
approach of holistic care, nutrition, and attention to the
gut micro biome.
