Research is revealing that unhealed intestinal lesions from Celiac disease may increase the risk of lymphoma. From an allopathic viewpoint (MD, DO), the only means of healing the GI tract is via a gluten-free diet. Naturopathic physicians know, however, that appropriate use of nutraceuticals can be very beneficial. Certainly, a 100% gluten-free diet is an absolute must. But using nutrients such as aloe, slippery elm powder, L-glutamine and others may increase the healing process. Please call for your appointment if you’ve been diagnosed with Celiac.
