Importance of an Ongoing Nutritional Counselling Intervention on Eating Habits of Newly Diagnosed Children with Celiac Disease.

A strict lifelong gluten-free diet (GFD) is the current treatment for the management of celiac disease (CD).

The present study aimed to improve the dietary habits of newly diagnosed children with CD through ongoing and face-to-face dietary counseling.

Correlation of Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase Antibodies With the Mucosal Changes and IgA Status of Children With Celiac Disease.
