Can celiac disease be prevented?

Celiac disease is inherited; it cannot be prevented but very often can be successfully managed. Some studies show that certain factors like how long you were breastfed and when you began eating gluten-rich food may increase your likeliness of having celiac disease. However, the predominant indicator of whether or not you will be affected by celiac disease is whether you have a family history of celiac disease. Even though it may not be preventable, celiac disease is treatable by making educated dietary choices that result in a completely gluten-free diet.

Julie DuBois answered:Celiac disease can not be prevented since it is a genetic disease. It can be managed and symptoms can be controlled by following a strictly gluten free diet. Gluten is found in wheat, barley, and rye products and oats are often contaminated as well. Individuals diagnosed with Celiac disease can consult with a Registered Dietitian for guidance on following a gluten free diet.Celiac disease can not be prevented since it is a genetic disease.
