I have celiac disease. What diets to avoid with celiac?
1 Answer
Those with celiac don't actually have to radically change their diet. The major issue with celiac disease is gluten containing foods. That means avoiding gluten containing foods is the major dietary change. The issue is that many foods contain wheat, rye, or barley, which are the gluten containing grains to avoid. Some people have to also avoid oats because oats are typically processed at facilities that process gluten containing grains. Some do not react so severely that oats are a problem, so this should only be done under the supervision of a medical professional. Fortunately these days many stores now carry gluten free products. When unsure, it's important to check the labels of all processed foods when shopping to make sure they do not contain gluten.
