Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The only treatment for celiac disease (CD) is to follow a strict gluten-free diet throughout life, possibly leading to dietary imbalances and associated diseases. This could be due to the differences observed in the nutritional composition of gluten-free products compared to their homologues containing gluten. Although individualized dietary advice should be mandatory for people with celiac disease, they usually do not have this information. In addition, in the classic form of CD, gastrointestinal symptoms caused by the ingestion of gluten predominate. It could be assumed that the elimination of this protein from the diet leads to the total remission of symptoms; however, some patients continue to suffer from symptoms even when following a strict gluten-free diet.

On the other hand, celiac people sometimes feels misunderstood by society, so information needs to be provided to them to achieve their complete social inclusion.

This Special Issue will include research works aiming to improve the quality of life of celiac people from dietary interventions, the nutritional composition of gluten-free foods, and nutritional education among celiac people and their environment. It also aims to monitor dietary adherence and search for possible causes of their symptomatology.

Celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder induced by the ingestion of gluten, affects approximately 1.4% of the population. Gluten damages the villi of the small intestine, producing symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating and a subsequent loss of nutrient absorption, causing destabilization of the nutritional status. Moreover, gluten can trigger extra intestinal symptoms, such as asthma or dermatitis, but also mental disorders such as depression or anxiety. Moreover, people suffering from celiac disease sometimes feel misunderstood by society, mainly due to the lack of knowledge about the disease and the gluten-free diet. Thus, the treatment and follow-up of patients with celiac disease should be approached from different perspectives, such as the following: (1) a clinical perspective: symptomatology and dietary adherence monitorization; (2) nutritional assessment: dietary balance achievement; (3) psychological assistance: mental disorders avoidance; and (4) social inclusion: educating society about celiac disease in order to avoid isolation of those with celiac disease. The aim of this narrative review is to gain deep insight into the different strategies that currently exist in order to work on each of these perspectives and to clarify how the complete approach of celiac disease follow-up should be undertaken so that the optimum quality of life of this collective is reached.
