Severe stress can trigger coeliac disease

Coeliac Disease, also known as Gluten Sensitive Enteropathy or Sprue, is an immune reaction to gluten which is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye.

Due to an immune response in people with this condition the lining of the small intestine can be damaged and can affect absorption of nutrients. Other symptoms can include fatigue, bloating, loss of weight, diarrhoea and anaemia, if not treated sometimes it can lead to serious complications. In some cases, Coeliac Disease can go undiagnosed for years.

CAUSES:
Precise causes are unknown but scientists believe genes play a major role and other factors may include:

• Bowel infections
• Candida or Gut Bacteria Dysbiosis
• Infant feeding practices
• Stress – sometimes this disease can become active for the first time after severe emotional stress and trauma such as an accident, childbirth, viral infection, bereavement, relationship breakdown or any other traumatic event or severe emotional stress.

Dr Bhatti believes all aspects of this disease should be dealt with including the emotional side. Dr Bhatti also believes restoration of Gut Health and Microbiome, can play an essential role in the treatment of stress and stress related gastrointestinal conditions.
