Celiac disease.
Study Goal
The researchers aimed to evaluate the role of a gluten-free diet in treating celiac disease by resolving intestinal inflammation and improving prognosis.
Results Summary
The study found that a gluten-free diet effectively resolves symptomatic or asymptomatic inflammation of the small intestinal mucosa in celiac disease, leading to an excellent prognosis if the condition is timely recognized and adequately treated.
Population
Individuals with celiac disease, including those with polygenic predisposition, associated autoimmune diseases, selective IgA deficiency, and Down, Turner, or Williams syndrome.

Celiac disease is a multysystemic autoimmune disease induced by gluten in wheat, barley and rye. It is characterized by polygenic predisposition, high prevalence (1%), widely heterogeneous expression and frequent association with other autoimmune diseases, selective deficit of IgA and Down, Turner and Williams syndrome. The basis of the disease and the key finding in its diagnostics is symptomatic or asymptomatic inflammation of the small intestinal mucosa which resolves by gluten-free diet. Therefore, the basis of the treatment involves elimination diet, so that the disorder, if timely recognized and adequately treated, also characterizes excellent prognosis.
