Objectives: To determine if after 2 years of consuming a gluten-free diet post celiac disease diagnosis, pediatric patients who were overweight or obese at diagnosis are less likely to normalize celiac disease serologies as compared with those who were normal weight or underweight at diagnosis. Secondary aims include characterizing how initial symptoms at presentation predict body mass index (BMI) change and serology improvement over the first 2 years of being on a gluten-free diet following diagnosis of celiac disease.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed that included all biopsy-proven celiac disease patients followed at Stony Brook Children's Hospital's Celiac Disease Center diagnosed between the years 2007-2022.
