“…Individuals with CeD and NCGWS can have varied clinical presentations based on symptoms of weight loss and degree of malabsorption [ 29 , 30 , 31 ], which can lead to muscle wasting. Low muscle mass has been associated with falls and bone health complications, including fractures [ 32 ] and an increased risk of mortality [ 33 ].…”

Nutritional Considerations in Celiac Disease and Non-Celiac Gluten/Wheat Sensitivity

A gluten-free diet (GFD) is the only available treatment for celiac disease (CeD), and it may also improve symptoms in non-celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity (NCGWS). In CeD, gluten triggers an immune reaction leading to enteropathy, malabsorption, and symptoms; in NCGWS, the mechanism leading to symptoms is unknown, and neither wheat nor gluten triggers enteropathy or malabsorption. A strict GFD is, therefore, necessary for CeD, but a gluten-restricted diet (GRD) may suffice to achieve symptom control for NCGWS. Regardless of this distinction, the risk of malnutrition and macro- and micronutrient deficiencies is increased by the adoption of a GFD or GRD. Thus, patients with CeD or NCGWS should undergo nutritional assessment and subsequent monitoring, based on evidence-based tools, under the care of a multidisciplinary team involving physicians and dietitians, for the long-term management of their nutrition. This review gives an overview of available nutrition assessment tools and considerations for the nutritional management of CeD and NCGWS populations.
