Probiotics are the “good” bacteria found in the gut. They are responsible for maintaining a healthy environment in the digestive tract, which keeps the digestive process running smoothly. If suffering from celiac disease, taking a probiotic supplement containing the strains Lactobacillus GG or Bacillus coagulans may help with symptoms.

Prebiotics are the foods that good bacteria in the gut fuel on. They keep the gut healthy by supporting immune system functioning. Prebiotics help absorb vitamin K. Food sources of prebiotics include chicory, asparagus, onions, leeks, artichokes and garlic.

Follow An Anti-inflammatory Diet

In addition to removing gluten from the diet, look for foods that will help treat inflammation associated with the disease itself. This includes lots of fruits and vegetables, which are high in antioxidants, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and other plant chemicals that have protective properties. Antioxidants help remove free radical toxins from the body that may be disrupting the digestive process. Other foods that contain anti-inflammatory benefits include salmon and mackerel, which are high in omega 3 fatty acids.
