Treatment for celiac sprue consists of the immediate and permanent institution of a diet free of cereal grains (e.g.,wheat,rye,barley,oats,malt).Lactose intolerance is presumed because of damage to the villi; therefore lactose (milk sugar)is excluded from the diet.The remaining options are not contraindicated on a celiac sprue-related diet.
