Answer to Question 1

Confirmation of the condition is based on testing blood for the antibodies to gluten. Nutrition intervention is based on modifying food and nutrient intake with a complete restriction of any foods with gluten. This list includes everything made with flour, such as bread and pasta, as well as foods with wheat, barley, or rye as an additive. The allowed foods include rice, soy, corn, and potato flours.
