Celiac Disease Treatment

A diet free of gluten-anything made from wheat, rye barley, or oats-must be eliminated or severely restricted. Brown rice is a chronic problem and must handled throughout your lifetime. Deviating from the restricted diet at any time can cause a relapse. Following a gluten-free diet usually relieves symptoms quickly. Generally, this diet must be maintained for life, as eating gluten can trigger symptoms and eventually malnutrition again. It is possible that once you are symptom free and tests show that your intestines have healed, you may be able to eat small amounts of gluten on occasion. This should be done only with medical supervision, however.
If you have become severely malnourished as a result of celiac disease, you may need to receive intravenous nutrition to help rebuild your body. Vitamin and mineral supplements may also be prescribed if you are unable to absorb nutrients from foods.
If dietary restriction proves ineffective, prednisone may be prescribed. This is a steroid that suppresses the body's inflammatory response. However, it also has adverse effects on immune function and the adrenal gland so it is best to take the lowest dose that helps and for the shortest possible amount of time. If abstaining from all gluten-containing foods fails to solve the problem, it may also be worth considering the possibility of another diagnosis.
