There may be hidden sources of gluten, such as hydrolyzed vegetable protein, textured vegetable protein and hydrolyzed plant protein (all derivatives of wheat, rye, barley and oats), including some soy sources, modified food starch and malt. Some of most common food sources that may cause allergies, must be omitted and replaced with millet, amaranth, quinoa, lentils, beans, peas, fruits such as raspberries, strawberries and blackberries. Corn and rice, can be eaten by most people who suffer from celiac disease. People with celiac disease need lots of fiber and foods that are rich in iron and B-vitamins. Eating cultures foods such as yogurt or kefir, adds friendly bacteria to digestive tract that may heal sensitive intestines. In some cases, it may be necessary to omit milk products from diet because of a lactose deficiency, except for yogurt. Rice Dream or Soy Milk may be used instead.
