General guidelines
– Avoid preparing foods containing wheat or its derivatives when making meals for someone with celiac disease, as even a small amount can be harmful.
– Ensure that the utensils used for food preparation are not contaminated with gluten.
– Take care to keep utensils designated for the celiac patient free from any potential contamination. Assign specific utensils for the individual with wheat allergy.
– When eating out, pay close attention to the dishes being served.
– If a child has a wheat allergy, inform the school and ensure they are provided with gluten-free meals.
– Verify that foods purchased are labeled “gluten-free” rather than just “wheat-free.”
