Teenager Finds Relief from Coeliac Disease

A 17-year-old male, Mr. D.D. (Patient ID: 49504), visited Life Force Homeopathy Kemp’s Corner branch with his father for the complaint of Coeliac disease. He had been suffering from it since childhood. The patient had abdominal pain, low appetite, and diarrhea on and off since childhood. In April 2022, the patient had biscuits and developed severe abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and weight loss. On further investigation, it was diagnosed as Coeliac disease. The patient and parents became very anxious after hearing about this disease. The only treatment that was given was to avoid gluten in the diet for life, which was very difficult for the patient. He used to get symptoms whenever there was some gluten in the food that he consumed. Sometimes, even when he doesn’t consume gluten, he used to develop symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, heartburn, etc. His weight had not increased in the past many months. He was feeling very weak and lethargic. The patient used to take allopathic medicines for gastric complaints whenever he felt discomfort. They came to know about Life Force from the internet.
