Gluten free diet benefits can include a reduction or elimination of anemia symptoms, particularly if you have celiac disease.<\/p>\n

Anemia is a possible symptom of celiac disease.\u00a0 If you have celiac disease and you eat gluten, the villi in the small intestine become truncated or shortened.\u00a0 This greatly reduces absorption of nutrients.<\/p>\n

Celiac Disease and Anemia<\/h2>\n

If you have celiac disease and you are not on a gluten free diet, your ability to properly digest food and absorb nutrients becomes very poor. One of the nutrients that suffers poor abortion is iron.<\/p>\n

Iron deficiency, or iron deficiency anemia (also spelled anaemia) is one of the results of malabsorption.<\/p>\n

Anemia among celiacs is such a common symptom that iron anemia should tip off your doctor to look for celiac disease.<\/p>\n

Gluten Free Diet and Eliminating Anaemia<\/h2>\n

If you have iron deficiency anemia and you have celiac disease, than going on a gluten free diet is the best way to cure the anaemia.<\/p>\n

After some months on a strict gluten-free diet, the villi in the lower intestine will begin to heal, and your body will once again properly absorb nutrients.\u00a0 This means that you will also start to absorb iron.\u00a0 Over time, you will absorb iron just like any normal person, eliminating your anemia symptoms.<\/p>\n

Your doctor may wish to put you on an iron supplement to build up your iron levels while your gut is recovering.<\/p>\n
