ABSTRACT
Current treatment for celiac disease (CD) requires a life-long gluten-free diet (GFD).1 Among the top challenges are eating outside the home2 and over-reliance on processed foods, which are often high-fat, low-fiber, and high-sugar.3 Home cooking is a GFD management strategy that addresses both. Research not specific to CD suggests a variety of positive outcomes related to home cooking: healthier dietary pattern, positive self-management behaviors (eg, improved glycosylated hemoglobin and cholesterol levels), increased willingness to integrate complex dietary changes, and improved quality of life (QOL).4-6 In this study we assessed the feasibility and acceptability of a cooking-based nutrition education intervention to promote GFD adherence and QOL among adults with CD.
