Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kati has celiac disease, which means she must avoid gluten-containing foods. Checking ingredient lists on food labels carefully will help her identify foods that contain gluten and avoid them. Choosing to avoid all cereal or milk and milk products is not necessary for someone with celiac disease, and substituting whole-wheat flour for enriched wheat flour may actually be detrimental as both contain gluten. Avoiding fish and poultry is also unnecessary for someone with celiac disease.
