Introduction: Fatigue is a frequent complaint in patients with celiac disease. A gluten-free diet is the only established treatment for celiac disease, but how this diet influences fatigue is uncertain. We aimed to investigate fatigue prevalence, severity, and associated factors in patients with celiac disease, at diagnosis and at 1 year after commencing a gluten-free diet.

Objective: This study investigated the effects of biological and small molecule drugs approved for inflammatory bowel disease on fatigue.
Fatigue is increasingly recognized as a major complaint in patients with chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Although fatigue is assumed to represent a significant problem in celiac disease, existing knowledge is scarce, and opinions are conflicting. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and severity of fatigue in patients with newly diagnosed celiac disease and compare it with healthy control subjects.

Materials And Methods: We included 149 consecutive patients in a longitudinal study.
Fatigue is increasingly recognized as a significant problem in patients with chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. In celiac disease, a chronic immune-mediated disease triggered by dietary gluten, conflicting opinions exist regarding both the size of the problem and the effect of a gluten-free diet (GFD) on fatigue. We reviewed the existing literature regarding fatigue in celiac disease.
