Question

Digestive problems can occur at nearly any point in the digestive process. Some problems are minor, like occasional heartburn, indigestion, or constipation. However, other problems like ulcers or cancer can be very serious. Medical treatment may also be required if a minor problem occurs persistently. Fortunately, there are also many dietary approaches that can help manage many digestive disorders. One condition that can be managed through diet is celiac disease, a serious autoimmune disease that causes damage to the small intestines when gluten is consumed. Select all the sentences below that correctly describe the proper identification and treatment of celiac disease.
a. People with celiac disease should include foods with dietary fiber such as beans, fruits, vegetables, brown rice, and quinoa.
b. In adults diagnosed with celiac disease, full recovery typically occurs within 3 to 6 months.
c. For people with celiac disease, ingesting small amounts of gluten is okay occasionally as long as doing so does not produce severe symptoms.
d. If a person feels better after trying a gluten-free diet, further testing is not necessary.
e. Home-cooked meals are a good way to increase variety and reduce the cost of a gluten-free diet.

Answer 1

Answer:

a. People with celiac disease should include foods with dietary fiber such as beans, fruits, vegetables, brown rice, and quinoa.

e. Home-cooked meals are a good way to increase variety and reduce the cost of a gluten-free diet.

Explanation:

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease, as stated above. This disease causes the defense cells of an organism to attack the stomach cells causing an inflammation that is extended and stimulated by the glutem. As a result, the individual has diarrhea, constipation, weight loss, anemia, a feeling of fullness, colic, abdominal discomfort, severe pain and may even develop ulcers and cancers.

Glutem is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye and for that reason, individuals with this disease should avoid these foods or foods derived from them. This type of diet should accompany the sick person for life and they should be encouraged to eat homemade foods that know the origin and composition. In addition, it is necessary that these people feed on dietary fibers, such as beans, fruits, vegetables, brown rice and quinoa.
