The nurse is assisting a child with celiac disease to select foods from a menu. What foods should the nurse suggest?
a. Hamburger on a bun
b. Spaghetti with meat sauce
c. Corn on the cob with butter
d. Peanut butter and crackers
ANS: C
Treatment of celiac disease consists primarily of dietary management. Although a gluten-free diet is prescribed, it is difficult to remove every source of this protein. Some patients are able to tolerate restricted amounts of gluten. Because gluten occurs mainly in the grains of wheat and rye but also in smaller quantities in barley and oats, these foods are eliminated. Corn, rice, and millet are substitute grain foods. Corn on the cob with butter would be gluten free.
