What may need to be avoided in coeliac disease?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Gluten
Coeliac disease is an immune-mediated condition in which gluten damages the lining of the small intestine. Gluten is present in wheat, barley and rye, so a strict gluten-free diet is generally required, with careful attention to cross-contamination. Plain water, lemon and ordinary small amounts of salt do not contain gluten and are not the specific concern.
