Reversing Cardiovascular Disease in Gluten Sensitivity and Celiac Disease

Atherosclerosis results from certain nutrient deficiencies, specifically B6, B12 and folic acid.(1) Over time, the atherosclerosis leads to heart disease and eventually death.

The good news is that correcting the deficiencies and the cause of the deficiencies (poor diet or malabsorption from celiac disease) will correct the root of the problem and reverse the trend.

A number of cardiovascular maladies are caused by nutrient deficiencies. Epistaxis (unexplained nosebleeds), reversible hypertension, angina pectoris, idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy,cardiomegaly, and aortic vasculitis.  Knowing which deficiencies and correcting them can mean the difference between life and death.

Tip: Search Cardiovascular System symptoms in the Gluten Free Works Health Guide. Review your symptoms to determine what is causing your cardiovascular issue, whether immune mediated or nutritional deficiency. When identifying illnesses or health problems in yourself or others, consider that gluten may be directly or indirectly causing the problems, even if they are not “typical” to celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. While the symptoms may indeed have other causes, it does no harm to rule gluten out early and may result in a quick diagnosis and prompt recovery. Then, consider whether different symptoms in different parts of the body may have the same cause. Look up your symptoms in the Health Recovery Center. Determine whether a certain issue or deficiency may be causing or influencing the health problems.
