A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parents of a preschool-age child who has a new diagnosis of celiac disease. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend?

A. Wheat toast and jelly: Wheat contains gluten, which triggers an immune response in clients with celiac disease. Consuming wheat products can damage the intestinal villi and exacerbate malabsorption and gastrointestinal symptoms, making this an inappropriate choice. B. Graham crackers with peanut butter: Graham crackers are typically made with wheat flour and contain gluten. Even paired with peanut butter, this snack is unsafe for a child with celiac disease and should be avoided to prevent intestinal injury and nutrient deficiencies. C. Beef barley soup: Barley contains gluten and is contraindicated for clients with celiac disease. Including barley in the diet can provoke symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and long-term intestinal damage. D. Corn tortillas with black beans: Corn and black beans are naturally gluten-free and safe for children with celiac disease. This combination provides a balanced source of carbohydrates and protein without triggering the autoimmune response associated with gluten ingestion.
