How is celiac disease or gluten intolerance treated?

Celiac disease management

Currently, the only treatment for celiac disease is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet. Eating gluten, even in very small amounts, can damage the intestine.

When a patient is diagnosed with the disease, the doctor should, as a rule, direct the patient to a certified dietitian to inform them of the appropriate and needed products, certainly without gluten content.
