Celiac Disease Dos and Don'ts: Prevention and Lifestyle
What you should Do for Celiac Disease
Check food labels
Always check food labels in order to make sure that you are buying gluten-free products.
Exercise regularly
Regular exercise can balance the bacteria in the microbiome of patients with celiac disease.
Balancing the good and bad bacteria in the microbiome is crucial to reduce the symptoms of celiac disease and further complications.
Take probiotics
Probiotics contribute to gastrointestinal health by fortifying the protective mucus layer that lines the gastrointestinal tract.
This helps reduce the inflammatory response caused by gluten ingestion.
Use stickers
Use different colored stickers to distinguish between gluten-containing and gluten-free products in the pantry and fridge.
What you should Avoid for Celiac Disease
Eliminate gluten foods
Foods that contain gluten such as wheat, rye, and barley can trigger celiac disease symptoms.
Eliminate gluten products
Avoid hidden sources of gluten like toothpaste, lip balm, and dental fixatives.
Avoid cross-contact
Patients need to avoid using products that belong to other family members, such as toothpaste and cosmetics to avoid cross-contamination.
They should also refrain from using food containers that have been used by others to put gluten products.
Store your own gluten-free items and products separately on the shelf of the pantry or refrigerator to avoid any possible cross-contamination.
Furthermore, avoid sharing food with others or using common items that have been used by others even if they have been washed, such as spoons or plates.
Avoid purchasing imported foods
Avoid purchasing imported foods because other countries may not abide by the gluten-free standards.

Breastfeeding may reduce the risk of a child developing celiac disease by 30 to 40 percent.
