Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
While the gluten-free diet (GFD) is the only treatment for celiac disease (CeD), there are many nutritional concerns regarding the nutritional adequacy of this diet. A standard GFD is often low in fiber and B vitamins, but higher in simple refined carbohydrates, fats, and sugars. Gut flora is negatively impacted by increased consumption of refined carbohydrates, processed foods, and sugars. Whole grains and a fiber-rich diet are associated with increased favorable gut flora.
This Special Issue aims to collect original research articles and reviews that explore the nutritional imbalances commonly observed in GFD, especially their effects on gut microbiota and overall intestinal health. Submissions that investigate strategies for improving dietary quality of individuals with CeD (including interventions to enhance fiber intake, optimize micronutrient status, and support gut health) are encouraged). We also welcome contributions that offer evidence-based dietary guidance and practical solutions for promoting a balanced and gut-friendly GFD.
We look forward to your contributions.
