Whether you have recently been diagnosed with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, or have elected to go gluten free for other health concerns, Celivites supplements will smooth your transition to robust health.* We use the most rigorous quality control procedures available to ensure that our products are gluten free, in fact, we test each batch to be free of gluten to less than 5ppm. Treatment f
or celiac disease is currently limited to lifelong, strict adherence to a gluten free diet. Celivites are an essential addition to the gluten free diet by ensuring that you meet all of your nutritional needs.*
Because celiac disease causes malabsorption, those diagnosed with celiac disease face the high probability of concurrent nutritional deficiencies sometimes resulting in anemia or low bone density (osteopenia or osteoporosis).* Those with celiac disease also face the possibility of other disorders related to malabsorption including peripheral neuropathy.*
Deficiencies of iron, calcium, zinc, copper, vitamin B-12, folic acid and vitamins A, E, D and K, are common.* In more severely affected patients, deficiencies of the following nutrients also occur: thiamine, vitamin B6, selenium and magnesium (S.H. Barton, 2007).*
As the intestine recovers from chronic injury inflicted by years of inflammation, the body regains its ability to absorb nutrients. Unfortunately, it can take years after a diagnosis with celiac disease for a patient to fully recover. In a study from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, NY, only 66% of patients regained normal intestinal mucosal anatomy 5 years after their initial diagnosis (A. A patient’s ability to avoid accidental exposure to gluten while following the diet may affect the time required for recovery. The most severe cases at diagnosis were negatively correlated with the ability to regain a normal mucosa (A. In addition to the effect of malabsorption, the gluten free diet itself is deficient in important nutrients. Since the time of the Second World War, the U.S. government has required that certain staples in the diet be fortified with essential nutrients. Therefore, gluten-containing grains and bread products are usually fortified with iron and B-vitamins. Gluten free foods are not subjected to the same regulations and are often not fortified. In addition, the diet is restrictive, preventing the patient from eating the variety required to attain balanced nutrition. Celivites supplements contain the supplemental nutrition you need to bridge this gap. Those recently diagnosed with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity are sometimes sensitive to other foods or ingredients in addition to gluten. We left out unnecessary or experimental ingredients so that when you are taking our supplement, you are getting only what you need. It is important for you to recognize and understand every ingredient in anything you ingest; our formulas are simple, clean and targeted.
