Learn how going Paleo can help alleviate the effects of Celiac disease
At Evolve Paleo Chef, many of our clients come to us and order our food because they are interested in reaching the pinnacle of health. However, the Paleo diet is not only good for building muscle, losing weight, and being generally healthier, it can also serve as the best nutrition plan for those who suffer from gastrointestinal issues like Celiac disease. According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, “Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that can occur in genetically predisposed people where the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. It is estimated to affect 1 in 100 people worldwide. Two and one-half million Americans are undiagnosed and are at risk for long-term health complications.” If left untreated, Celiac disease can lead to the development of other autoimmune disorders, anemia, osteoporosis, intestinal cancers, and more.
Why is Paleo great for Celiac patients?
The Paleo lifestyle is one of the best options for those who suffer from Celiac disease because Paleo is gluten-free, carb-free, sugar-free, and dairy-free. Foods containing gluten, sugar, and dairy, are especially likely to make a Celiac patient extra sick and at risk for the development of other disorders. Once a Celiac patient has their disease under control, adapting to the full Paleo lifestyle is a great option because not only is gluten eliminated, but other foods that may promote the growth of bad bacteria in the gut are also eliminated, like carbohydrates and sugars. When the small intestine’s health improves and is maintained, those suffering from Celiac disease can begin to absorb nutrients properly again.
