Celiacs
Celiac disease, as defined in Western medicine, constitutes an autoimmune disorder affecting genetically susceptible individuals, wherein gluten consumption triggers damage to the small intestine (Lebwohl et al., 2015, The American Journal of Gastroenterology). The repercussions of untreated Celiac extend beyond intestinal concerns to encompass other autoimmune complications (Kurppa et al., 2010, Gastroenterology).
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a distinct perspective, attributing Celiac disease to spleen deficiency. In TCM, the spleen plays a pivotal role in digestion and transforming and transporting "food essence" throughout the body (Xu et al., 2019, Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine). The spleen's effective functioning hinges on proper moisture balance, as a Qi deficiency can lead to moisture accumulation and subsequent dampness conditions (Li et al., 2019, Frontiers in Pharmacology). Conversely, the stomach's optimal performance necessitates a dry environment to prevent overheating and the emergence of stomach fire (Ma et al., 2017, International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Medicine). The intricate interplay between the spleen and stomach, representing Yin and Yang partners in TCM, underscores the nuanced approach to understanding Celiac disease from a traditional perspective.
