The only current medical treatment for celiac disease is a strict gluten free diet. Many newly diagnosed people still don't know much about the gluten free diet and all aspects of cross contamination.
Once diagnosed, most people know the basic idea of no wheat, barley and rye. However many are not educated on ingredients to look for and the impact that cross contamination can have.
As health care providers and educators, we need to encourage any newly diagnosed patient with Celiac to follow up with a Registered Dietitian and received the proper education.☝
