JIMENEZ-ORTEGA, Ana Isabel et al. Nutritional problems in celiac patients. Difficulties in achieving an adequate nutritional status. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2022, vol.39, n.spe3, pp.60-64.  Epub 21-Nov-2022. ISSN 1699-5198.  https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.04314.

Celiac disease is the most common chronic intestinal disease. It affects approximately 1 % of the world population, affects all age groups and has symptoms both digestive and extra-digestive.

The treatment of celiac disease is based on the strict withdrawal of gluten from the diet. This treatment supposes the improvement of symptoms and histology and the reduction of long-term comorbidities.

People with celiac disease often follow diets that are far from the theoretical ideal, so they must be supervised and guided to achieve gluten-free diets that are also varied and balanced.

In these patients it is important to avoid gluten consumption, but also to achieve an adequate supply of nutrients. However, their health problems, together with the limitations they must introduce in the diet make it more difficult to achieve a correct diet, so the group deserves special nutritional monitoring and surveillance.
