Mucosal Recovery and Mortality in Adults with Celiac Disease after Treatment with a Gluten-Free Diet

摘要

ObjectivesClinical response is typically observed in most adults with celiac disease (CD) after treatment with a gluten-free diet (GFD). The rate of mucosal recovery is less certain. The aims of this study were 1) to estimate the rate of mucosal recovery after GFD in a cohort of adults with CD, and 2) to assess the clinical implications of persistent mucosal damage after GFD.
