Did you know that May is Celiac Disease Awareness Month? We know finding relief from Celiac disease with chiropractic care is possible, but we wanted to take the time to share the news with you too!
What is Celiac disease?
Even though an estimated three million Americans are affected by Celiac disease, many people aren’t sure what it is. Oftentimes, it is mistaken for or confused with a wheat allergy.
However, Celiac disease is actually an autoimmune disease. It is a genetic intolerance of gluten that causes the immune system to have problems.
Basically, your gut begins to attack itself. The villi, (tiny hairs that line the intestinal wall), lie down and get stuck. This can lead to a leaky gut among other complications such as abdominal bloating, diarrhea, vomiting and weight loss.
How can chiropractic help?
For starters, finding relief from Celiac disease with chiropractic care starts with an initial visit.
During your visit, the dedicated doctors at Advantage Chiropractic Clinic will listen to all your symptoms and concerns. After a thorough exam and diagnosis, a tailor-made treatment plan can begin combining functional medicine techniques and findings, as well as chiropractic care. Dr. Adams earned his Diplomate of the American Board of Chiropractic Internists (DABCI). This follows the successful completion of a three-year post-doctoral program and examination to be Board certified. He also is a Diplomate of the American Clinical Board of Nutrition.
If you are suffering from Celiac disease, chances are you may have an out-of-line spine. When your spine is not properly aligned, several communications from your brain to your nervous system can be altered, including digestion, for instance.
Chiropractic care can help relieve the discomfort and symptoms of autoimmune diseases like Celiac through gentle adjustments. With proper alignment comes proper communication between the key players: in this case—your brain and your gut!
