For The Prevention Of Osteoporosis In Celiac Disease

O steoporosis is a disease in which the bones become less dense than normal.(1) In osteoporosis, the bone mineral density is significantly reduced, bone microarchitecture is modified, and the amount and variety of non-collagenous proteins in bone are muddled. The decreased density makes the bones more fragile and more likely to break. In fact, most people are not aware that they have osteoporosis until they sustain a fracture.

Celiac disease, however, is an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine that typically occurs in genetically predisposed people of all ages. Symptoms include chronic diarrhea, fatigue, ataxia and peripheral neuropathy.(2)

Osteoporosis and celiac disease are interrelated with the former being a complication of the latter. When people with celiac disease consume foods that contain gluten (a form of protein found in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye),  the villi that line the small intestine are damaged.(3) As a consequence, the nutrients in food cannot be efficiently absorbed by the body. Among the nutrients that are malabsorbed are calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K, which are all essential for healthy bones. Therefore, low bone density is common in patients with celiac disease. The risk of osteoporosis increases drastically among celiac patients who are not diagnosed early because they have gone for a longer period without enough calcium and other nutrients needed for normal bone growth and development.

The link between celiac disease and osteoporosis is so prevalent that medical practitioners advise all patients who have developed osteoporosis at a young age to get screened for celiac disease in order to find out whether their low bone density is related to malabsorption.(4) In some cases, osteoporosis can be the only sign of celiac disease. 

If the patient is diagnosed with celiac disease, then the patient must be treated for that condition in order to prevent the occurrence of osteoporosis. To date, the only effective treatment is a life-long gluten-free diet.(5) There is no medication thus far that will prevent damage or prevent the body from attacking the intestine when gluten is present. Strict adherence to the diet allows the intestines to heal, which leads to resolution of symptoms in most cases and, depending on how early the diet is begun, can also reduce or eliminate the risk of osteoporosis.

If osteoporosis is present without any evidence of celiac disease, then a different treatment approach would be administered to the patient. Medication usually includes calcium, vitamin D, bisphosphonates and several others.(6)  Exercise with its anabolic effect, may at the same time stop or reverse the course of osteoporosis.

There are standard treatment protocols for these diseases. There are also alternative therapies as well as dietary supplements. Most of them cannot address osteoporosis and celiac disease if they are both present. However, there is one fruit that can tackle the underlying causes and complications of these two diseases simultaneously. The acai berry, with all its bountiful nutrients, is widely considered as one of the world's most complete and healthful foods.

The acai berry is also a healthy source of natural fiber which is beneficial for the cardiovascular system, digestive tract, and colon health.(7) The Natural Home Cures Freeze Dried Acai Berry contains 14 grams of fiber in every 100 grams of pulp. This fibrous berry may help lower blood cholesterol and promote a healthy digestive system. When incorporated into the diet of a patient with celiac disease, it may hasten the regeneration of damaged villi in the small intestine and enhance its capacity to absorb the essential nutrients needed by the body.

Natural Home Cures Freeze Dried Acai Berry contains a significant amount of dietary calcium, the mineral that is the main constituent of bones. Women are at higher risk of developing osteoporosis later in life so their RDA for calcium is higher than men. Consuming Natural Home Cures Freeze Dried Acai Berry supplements can elevate the calcium levels required for healthy bones and preventing fractures, a common complication of osteoporosis.

It is important to note that the freeze-dried capsule form is more potent than its juice counterpart. Juices go through a processing and diluting with the addition of preservatives and other fruit extracts to satisfy your discriminating palate. Natural Home Cures Freeze Dried Acai Berry capsules contain all the antioxidants, phytosterols, essential amino acids, omega fatty acids as well as vitamins and minerals that you are after - all locked intact in the solid variant. Therefore, why we strongly suggest you should consume the Natural Home Cures Freeze Dried Acai Berry for osteoporosis and celiac disease.
