Gluten restriction is the major component of the medical nutrition therapy for celiac disease. What is gluten? Where is it found?
What will be an ideal response?
• Gluten is a term for all of the prolamin protein components including: gliadin, hordein, and secalin, found in the grains of wheat, barley, and rye, respectively.
• This means any food containing wheat, rye, or barley must be eliminated from the diet.
• Convenience foods or any commercial products that use thickeners or fillers made from these grains cannot be consumed either (ex: hot dogs, French fries, Communion wafers, gravy, candy, malted products, and beer). In the US, most thickeners or fillers use corn rather than wheat but it is also important to assure safety.
