May is National Celiac Disease, Allergy, Asthma, and IBS Awareness Month— and if your family is navigating any of these, you’re not alone.
From packing school lunches to managing late-night flare-ups, living with food allergies, celiac, asthma, or gut issues like IBS can be overwhelming. But here’s the good news: research is making exciting progress, and simple, natural tools—like healing spices—can make a real difference in how your family feels.
Celiac Disease, Allergies & Asthma: What’s New
• Celiac Disease affects about 1 in 133 people in the U.S. Recent clinical trials show that medications like ZED1227 may help reduce gluten damage in the gut, offering hope for easier management in the future.
•Food Allergies now affect 8% of children and 10% of adults. A major breakthrough: the FDA recently approved Xolair (omalizumab) to reduce allergic reactions from accidental exposure to multiple food allergens.
•Asthma, which impacts over 27 million Americans, is seeing progress with new treatments like benralizumab—a biologic therapy that reduces inflammation and dependence on steroids.
The Gut Connection: Why All These Conditions Are Related
What do food allergies, asthma, celiac disease, and IBS have in common? The gut.
Research shows that the gut-immune and gut-lung axes play major roles in how our bodies respond to food and environmental triggers. If the gut is inflamed or imbalanced, it can worsen allergy symptoms, trigger asthma attacks, and irritate the digestive system.
That’s where food becomes medicine—and spices become your ally.
Spices That Support Gut and Immune Health
Spices aren’t just flavor boosters—they’re powerful tools for healing. At IrieVeda, we craft our spice blends with gut health in mind, especially for families living with food sensitivities.
Here’s how they help:
•Turmeric – Packed with curcumin, a natural anti-inflammatory that soothes the gut lining and supports immune balance.
•Fennel – Known for easing bloating, calming digestion, and reducing cramping.
•Ginger – Helps with nausea and inflammation, and supports healthy motility (gut movement).
•Oregano – A natural antimicrobial that supports gut bacteria balance.
•Cinnamon & Cardamom – Gentle on the stomach and helpful for regulating blood sugar, which affects overall inflammation.
Research even shows that just one serving of mixed spices can positively shift your gut microbiome—helping your belly, lungs, and immune system function more smoothly.
