Gluten-free diet in nonceliac disease.
Study Goal
The researchers aimed to evaluate the use of a gluten-free diet (GFD) as a treatment for celiac disease and other medical conditions.
Results Summary
The study found that a GFD is commonly recognized as effective for celiac disease and has been investigated for other conditions, but the strength of evidence varies, with some conditions having weak existing evidence.
Population
Patients with celiac disease and other medical conditions (dermatitis herpetiformis, irritable bowel syndrome, neurologic disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus, HIV-associated enteropathy).

A gluten-free diet (GFD) is commonly recognized as the treatment for celiac disease. It also has been investigated as a treatment option for other medical conditions, including dermatitis herpetiformis, irritable bowel syndrome, neurologic disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus, and HIV-associated enteropathy. The strength of the evidence for the use of a GFD in these nonceliac diseases varies, and future research may better define the benefits of a GFD for those conditions with weak existing evidence.
