A nurse is providing dietary teaching to a client who has celiac disease.

Which of the following food choices by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?



Correct Answer: C

Corn tortillas.

Celiac disease is a condition that causes damage to the small intestine when gluten is ingested.

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and oats.

Corn tortillas are made from corn flour, which does not contain gluten and is safe for people with celiac disease.

Choice A is wrong because whole wheat bread contains gluten, which can trigger an immune response and damage the small intestine in people with celiac disease.

Choice B is wrong because oatmeal cookies also contain gluten, either from the oats themselves or from cross-contamination with other grains.

Choice D is wrong because barley soup contains barley, which is another source of gluten that can harm people with celiac disease.
