The only currently available therapy for celiac patents is a life-long strict gluten-free diet,however, it generates numerous social and economic repercussions. Various studies havesuggested that failure to comply with the diet is frequent in celiac patents. For this reason, andbecause of the currently recognized importance of nutriton in the management of CD, thedevelopment of new strategies for monitoring the gluten-free diet is essental. The toxicity ofcereals such as oats is questoned. Studies have shown that oat’s immunogenicity depends oninterindividual sensitvity and the cultvar used. The incorporaton of harmless oat varietes infood products may improve the nutritonal quality of the gluten-free diet. Additonally in thesearch for a less-toxic barley, it has been demonstrated that cultvated varietes contain lowerlevels of immunogenic gluten than the wild ones. This fact is important in breeding programs ofcultvated species and in the preparaton of certain foods and beverages derived from toxiccereals.
