Celiac Disease

Your small intestine reacts to gluten — a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and spelt — with an inflammatory response that destroys its own lining. The delicate villi that normally absorb nutrients atrophy and retreat. What you eat no longer reaches you. Your body starves, even as you eat. Medically, celiac disease is an autoimmune condition — your immune system attacks your own tissue, triggered by an external substance.

From a psychosomatic perspective, a different question arises: What is happening inside you that your digestive system — the organ that transforms food into life energy — turns against itself? Why can your body no longer absorb what life is offering it?

Celiac disease is not merely a food intolerance. It is a signal that something deeper in you refuses to be nourished.
