Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The availability of an alternative treatment for celiac disease (CD) on a gluten-free diet has been hindered by having to compete with such a safe and effective treatment, which constitutes a difficult challenge to overcome.
Future treatment options may be quantitative, the purpose of which is to restrict the contact of gluten with the intestinal mucosa, or qualitative, which aim to modulate the immune response specific to gluten.
Quantitative strategies include the genetic modification of cereals.
A gluten-free diet (GFD) in its macronutrient composition is characterized by its low complex carbohydrate and fiber intakes and high fat (especially SFA) and sugar intakes. This profile has been related to the continuous consumption of GFP and its nutritional composition, in addition to unbalanced dietary habits. The most notable deficiencies in micronutrients are usually those of iron, calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin E, and some of group B. It is necessary to follow up with patients with CD and to promote nutritional education among them, since it could help not only to achieve a gluten-free but also a balanced diet.
In the long term, with a strict GFD, analyzing nutrient intake makes more sense and helps to correct all the deficiencies.
