The only treatment available is to adhere to a strict gluten-free diet avoiding all wheat, rye, and barley or any cross-contaminated foods (e.g., farming, milling, storage, factories, preparation, or frying). In addition, the quality of the food is enhanced when the person chooses gluten-free whole grains, fresh meat/seafood, and fresh vegetables and fruits. Read labels. Avoid processed foods that are limited in fiber and important nutrients. It helps to join a local support group in person or online, to have annual follow up check ups with a gastroenterologist, and to supplement the diet with gluten free fiber, multivitamin with iron, and Calcium with vitamin D. For medications, verify with the manufacturer that the over the counter or prescription is gluten-free before ingesting. The motto, if in doubt, do without, is important to follow.
