1. Avoid high-protein foods.
2. A vegetarian diet is the best treatment for this condition.
3. Gluten products must be eliminated from the diet.
4. All whey products must be eliminated from the diet.
Correct Answer: 3
The patient with celiac sprue is placed on a gluten-free diet. This treatment is generally successful, as long as the patient entirely avoids gluten. Avoiding high-protein foods, eating a vegetarian diet, and eliminating whey are not relevant for the patient with sprue.
