Background: Little attention has been paid to family-wide repercussions of a child's celiac disease diagnosis and concomitant gluten-free diet management.
Aims: We quantitatively and qualitatively describe positive and negative family-wide effects of a child's celiac disease diagnosis and disease management.
Methods: We interviewed 16 families with at least one child currently following a gluten-free diet, with a biopsy-confirmed celiac disease diagnosis ≥ 1 year prior.
