What is the Treatment for Celiac Disease?
Celiac.com 06/26/2020 - The only treatment for celiac disease is a gluten-free diet.
No Cure for Celiac Disease
No prescription drug or home remedy can cure celiac disease. There is no operation or medical procedure that can cure celiac disease.
Gluten-Free Diet Key to Celiac Wellness
However, people with celiac disease can live happy, healthy, normal lives by eliminating wheat rye and/or barley, and following a dedicated gluten-free diet.
Avoid Unsafe Non-Gluten-Free Foods
This means avoiding all products derived from wheat, rye, barley, oats, and a few other lesser-known grains. These foods and ingredients are unsafe and not-gluten-free. Here's our Unsafe Gluten-Free Food List (Unsafe Ingredients).

Celiac Disease Treatment and Continuing Symptoms
Celiac.com 04/07/2021 - It is not uncommon for people with celiac disease to have ongoing digestive symptoms and other systemic problems, even on a gluten free diet. Even though celiac disease is becoming better understood each year, much remains to be learned about the effects of the disease on the body and its ongoing symptoms.
Not everyone with celiac disease who goes on a gluten-free diet will recover, according to the following study:
"After an average of 11 months on a gluten-free diet, 81% of patients with celiac disease and positive tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) at baseline will revert to negative tTG-IgA (SOR: C, disease-oriented evidence from retrospective cohort study). The intestinal mucosa of adult patients with celiac disease will return to normal a...

The Appeal of Vaccine Treatments for Celiac Disease
Celiac.com 12/21/2020 - Recent leaps in understanding the development of celiac disease have led efforts toward a new, non-dietary, vaccine therapy.
A lifelong gluten-free diet remains the only treatment for celiac disease, but research shows that even the most diligent gluten-free dieters are likely to be exposed to gluten on a regular basis. This is part of the appeal of safe, effective non-dietary treatments for celiac disease. And adjunctive and/or vaccine therapy is one of those approaches.
New therapies might focus on immune regulation by IL-10, as in vitro models of treated celiac patients show that external IL-10 can overwhelm the gliadin driven IFN-γ response in intestinal biopsies. But, even though people with active celiac disease show high levels of anti-infl...

New Developments in Celiac Disease Treatment
Celiac.com 12/13/2023 - Celiac disease is a common autoimmune disease affecting more than 1% of the population. In celiac disease, the ingestion of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, triggers an immune response targeting the small bowel. In susceptible individuals, this immune reaction leads to both gastrointestinal and systemic symptoms.
Unlike some other autoimmune diseases, the specific immunogenic antigens responsible for the immune response in celiac disease have been identified and extensively characterized. Consequently, a gluten-free diet has long been established as an effective treatment. This is not an easy task, partly due to a lack of awareness of the gluten content in foods, and the extensive incorporation of gluten into many processed foods. Furthermore, ...

  Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?
  
  What canned tomato sauce is gluten free? I use Hunts diced tomatoes, because they're labeled gluten-free, but none of their other products are labeled. Similar situation with some other brands. How about ricotta? Is that generally safe? Can I just get the store brand? Or do I need to look for a gluten-free label? Thanks for any help.

  Help! I have to eat gluten :(
  
  BadHobit, did you know that 40% of the general population has one or more of the genes that have been associated with the development of celiac disease? But only about 1% of the population actually develops celiac disease. So, the gene test can legitimately be used to rule out celiac disease but not to confirm it.

  Help! I have to eat gluten :(
  
  An entirely different infection caused the sore throat. My doctor said, "When you suddenly switch from a gluten-free diet to gluten, your immune system weakens." I got better with medication. Once I recovered, I experimented with wheat-free but gluten-contaminated foods such as oats. Within a week, watery blisters appeared on my skin again. So I gave...

  Food Tasting Salty
  
  Histamine itself does not have a taste. The salty taste associated with tears or mucus comes from their electrolyte content, not from histamine. While histamine can be part of various immune responses, its connection to gluten reactions is not direct, and it does not taste salty. The salty taste of tears and mucus is due to their sodium chloride content,...

  Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?
  
  @Matt13, Your symptoms sound similar to the ones I had. I had developed nutritional deficiencies, in particular, thiamine deficiency. Gastrointestinal BeriBeri has all those symptoms and the fatigue was horrible. Quick field test from WHO: can you rise unaided from a squat? If you have a serious thiamine deficiency, you cannot stand back...
