As a Registered Dietitian and a mom of a son with Celiac, I want to educate on a healthy gluten free diet.

How To Avoid Gluten
The only treatment for Celiac disease is a gluten free diet.
Gluten is a protein found naturally in wheat, barley, and rye
that triggers a reaction if you have Celiac disease.
Symptoms improve for most people when following a gluten
free diet.
Recently, stores and restaurants have added many gluten free
foods and options. A Registered Dietitian can assist you with
label reading, making healthy food plans, and overall
your new healthy lifestyle.
The small intestine usually heals in about 6 months in children.
In adults complete healing can take years. Once healed, the villi,
which were damaged by the disease, regrow and will absorb
nutrients from food into the bloodstream normally.
