“Today, the only treatment for celiac disease is a gluten-free diet,” said Dietitian Banu Özbingül Arslansoyu, adding, “With a gluten-free diet, patients’ condition improves, but treatment is lifelong.” Dietitian Banu Özbingül Arslansoyu stated that celiac patients should avoid products made from grains such as wheat, barley, and rye, as well as baked goods (semolina, bulgur, couscous, noodles, bread, pasta, breakfast cereals, bagels, cakes, pastries, etc.). Dyt also said that foods such as meat, milk, vegetables, fruit, dried legumes, corn, potatoes, rice, soybeans, quinoa, and buckwheat can be consumed safely on a gluten-free diet. Banu Özbingül Arslansoyu, a nutritionist at the University of California, San Francisco, said, "Limited amounts of oats may be suitable for some people with celiac disease, but care should be taken to ensure the oats are pure and do not pose a risk of cross-contamination. When purchasing oats, choose products that state 'gluten-free' on the label."
