However, some people may find relief from symptoms by following a gluten-free diet.<\/p>\n<p>Your healthcare provider can diagnose non-celiac gluten sensitivity by conducting tests to rule out celiac disease or wheat allergy, evaluating your medical history, or guiding you through an elimination diet. Treatment for gluten intolerance typically consists of following a gluten-free diet.<\/p>\n<p>Going gluten-free can be challenging, but it doesn\u2019t mean cutting out some of your favorite foods; many gluten-free alternatives are available. A registered dietitian can help you choose the right foods for your new lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>To schedule an appointment with a gastroenterologist or dietitian at Flushing Hospital Medical Center, please call <a href=\"tel:7186705486\">718-670-5486<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer\">All content of this newsletter is intended for general information purposes only and is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
