A comparison of the nutritional status between adult celiac patients on a long-term, strictly gluten-free diet and healthy subjects

摘要

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: There are conflicting data on the effect of a gluten-free diet (GFD) on the nutritional status of celiac patients. In the present study, we evaluated, in adult celiac patients, the influence of a long-term, strictly GFD on their nutritional status and compared it with matched healthy volunteers.
