What Foods Flare Up Celiac? [Solved]
Even if you just have a smidge of gluten, like a spoonful of pasta, it can give you some nasty tummy troubles. Foods with gluten are off-limits: bread, pasta, cereals, biscuits or crackers, cakes and pastries, pies and gravies and sauces - yuck!
Gluten: Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley that can cause an immune reaction in people with celiac disease.
Symptoms: Common symptoms of celiac disease include abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue and weight loss.
Diagnosis: A diagnosis of celiac disease is made through blood tests and biopsy of the small intestine to confirm the presence of damage to the villi (the finger-like projections that line the small intestine).
Treatment: The only treatment for celiac disease is a strict gluten-free diet for life; this means avoiding all foods containing wheat, rye or barley as well as any products made with these grains or their derivatives such as malt or brewer’s yeast.
Foods to Avoid: Common foods that contain gluten include breads and pastas made from wheat flour; cereals containing wheat; crackers; cookies; cakes; pies; pizza crusts; beer and other alcoholic beverages made from barley or wheat malt extracts; soy sauce (unless labeled gluten-free); processed meats such as sausages and deli meats (unless labeled gluten-free); some condiments such as ketchup and mustard (unless labeled gluten-free); soups thickened with flour or roux mixes containing wheat flour; gravies thickened with flour or roux mixes containing wheat flour.
Eating with celiac can be a real pain, but there are plenty of foods that won’t flare up your symptoms. From gluten-free breads to dairy-free desserts, you can still enjoy delicious meals without the worry. So don’t let celiac get you down - just find the right foods and you’ll be good to go!
