The treatment of celiac disease is a gluten-free diet. Because gluten is found mainly in wheat and rye, and to a smaller extent in barley and oat products, it is recommended that they be eliminated from the diet. Corn, rice, and millet are grains that are allowed in the diet. General dietary guidelines include high-protein, high-calorie foods. In severe cases, temporary lactose restrictions may be needed. Gluten is often hidden in food products. |
