Abstract

Background and Objective: Coeliac disease is a chronic, immune-mediated disorder for which the only treatment consists of lifelong strict adherence to gluten-free diet (GFD). However, there is a lack of evidence-based guidelines on the GFD dietary management of coeliac disease. This position paper, led by the Special Interest Group in coeliac disease of the European Society of Pediatric, Gastroenterology Hepatology, and Nutrition, supported by the Nutrition Committee and the Allied Health Professionals Committee, aims to present evidence-based recommendations on the GFD as well as how to support dietary adherence. Methods: A wide literature search was performed using the MeSH Terms: “diet, gluten free,” “gluten-free diet,” “diets,... (More)

Background and Objective: Coeliac disease is a chronic, immune-mediated disorder for which the only treatment consists of lifelong strict adherence to gluten-free diet (GFD). However, there is a lack of evidence-based guidelines on the GFD dietary management of coeliac disease. This position paper, led by the Special Interest Group in coeliac disease of the European Society of Pediatric, Gastroenterology Hepatology, and Nutrition, supported by the Nutrition Committee and the Allied Health Professionals Committee, aims to present evidence-based recommendations on the GFD as well as how to support dietary adherence. Methods: A wide literature search was performed using the MeSH Terms: “diet, gluten free,” “gluten-free diet,” “diets, gluten-free,” “gluten free diet,” and “coeliac disease” in Pubmed until November 8th, 2022. Results: The manuscript provides an overview of the definition of the GFD, regulations as basis to define the term “gluten-free,” which foods are naturally gluten-free and gluten-containing. Moreover, it provides recommendations and educational tips and infographics on suitable food substitutes, the importance of reading food labels, risk of gluten cross-contact at home and in public settings, nutritional considerations as well as factors associated to dietary adherence based on available evidence, or otherwise clinical expertise. Conclusions: This position paper provides guidance and recommendations to support children with coeliac disease to safely adhere to a GFD.
