Impact of a Gluten-Free Diet on Gut Function and Microbiome in Celiac Disease (+Video) - Celiac.com
This study explored how a gluten-free diet influences gut function and microbiome composition in individuals newly diagnosed with celiac disease over a one-year period. Celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, primarily damages the small intestine, leading to digestive issues, nutrient malabsorption, and changes in gut health. The primary treatment for celiac disease is a strict gluten-free diet, but its broader effects on the gut environment and microbiome were not fully understood until now. To investigate these impacts, researchers compared individuals with newly diagnosed celiac disease to healthy volunteers who did not follow a gluten-free diet.
