Abstract:

Celiac disease is one of the most common chronic gastrointestinal disorders in the world. The disease occurs in about 1% of the population. CD is treated with a Gluten-Free Diet (GFD), which leads to resolution of the clinical disease and restoration of the histological abnormalities. This case study includes a 3 years old girl who was suffering from CD which was accompanied by anemia and malabsorption of major nutrients. After the careful clinical and nutrition assessment, gluten free diet along with multivitamin supplements were initiated which resulted in disappearance of her symptoms and improvement in weight gain.
