My daughter has celiac. She was diagnosed at 19. She was not vaccinated at all as a child or adult. She always seemed a bit spacy and had a lot of mucous and was prone to congestion. I treated her for the congestion with echinacea/goldenseal and an herbal blend containing ephedrine (before they took it off the market) and homeopathics which was a great help. She was smart but didn't read until she was 10 and appeared to be a slow learner but that was ok because we homeschooled. As an adult she is short waisted and only about 5'1". I breastfed her for several years and didn't introduce solids until she was almost a year. I believe she was celiac from birth as it is a European disease and we are Polish, Slovak and Yugoslavian with some English/Irish thrown in.

The biggest problem with celiac is because the villa in the small intestine are flattened, due to the reaction to gluten, it causes the person to become malnourished due to the inability of the small intestine to work properly. The whole digestive system is screwed up then. The good news for my daughter is that once she quit eating barley, rye, oats and wheat she felt 100% better. Because she was older, she could clarify exactly the changes that took place. She truly did not know what it felt like to feel good. She also does well when she adds digestive enzymes to her vitamin regimen.

She entered school in 6th grade and became en excellent student and got her bachelor's and master's degrees from UGA, overcoming the struggles involved with celiac. As she has gotten older she can tolerate a little gluten but it always makes her feel worse so she tries to stay gluten free.

I have not found anything that will heal this except to do things associated with reducing inflammation since this is categorized as an autoimmune disease. She has also dealt with some thyroid issues over the years and has done well under the care of an endocrinologist although she hasn't seen one for many years. She also had her gall bladder removed. There are SO many other diseases associated with or as a result of celiac. Really cutting out gluten is the best answer. Also remember gluten can be in shampoos and lotions. The body is pretty good about telling us what it likes and doesn't like. I wonder if tudca would be beneficial for the celiac since it is such a great supplement according to Dr. Berg. I would love to know about any new developments on this condition.
