The following are important principles to teach clients with celiac disease: All gluten-containing products should be eliminated from the diet. These include wheat, barley, rye, and oats. Rice, corn, and potatoes are gluten free and are allowed on the diet. Processed foods (eg, chocolate candy, hot dogs) may contain "hidden" sources of gluten such as modified food starch, malt, and soy sauce. Food labels should indicate that the product is gluten free. Clients will need to be on a gluten-free diet for the rest of their lives. Eliminating gluten from the diet reduces the risk of nutritional deficiencies and intestinal cancer (lymphoma). Eating even small amounts of gluten will damage the intestinal villi although the client may have no clinical symptoms. All sources of gluten must be eliminated from the diet (Option C). Educational objective: All sources of gluten must be eliminated from the diet of a client with celiac disease; consuming small amounts, even in the absence of clinical symptoms, will increase the risk of damage to the intestinal villi. Clients can have foods containing rice, corn, and potatoes. They should read food labels and follow the diet for the rest of their lives.
