Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune-related disease causing inflammation in the small bowel triggered by the ingestion of gluten in the diet. The only effective and safe treatment of celiac disease (CD) is a lifelong, strict exclusion of gluten—the so-called gluten-free diet (GFD). CD is linked to malabsorption, potentially leading to nutritional deficiencies. Individuals with CD are required to adhere to GFD, and most deficiencies can be restored with a GFD and/or nutritional supplementation. On the other hand, GFD itself can lead to nutritional deficiencies. Therapeutic protocols should include nutritional education to learn the importance of labels, the choice of foods, and the combination of macronutrients and micronutrients to avoid nutritional mistakes. New insights into the nutritional deficiencies of CD are an exciting scientific challenge for researchers both in pediatric and adult conditions.
