How do I treat Celiac Sprue (Gluten Sensitivity)?
A.The only proven effective treatment for celiac disease is the complete and lifelong avoidance of gluten proteins from your diet. Once gluten is eliminated from the diet, the intestine heals and returns to its former state and the symptoms disappear. This means avoiding not only the grains that include gluten proteins, but also all those prepared, processed and packaged foods that have gluten-containing grains. It means cooking and baking without those grains and knowing what questions to ask to be sure that you’re not consuming gluten when eating at restaurants or friend’s houses.
