Celiac.com 07/10/2019 - Fewer new celiac patients are being diagnosed with classical malabsorption problems. Has this fact had any impact on nutrient deficiency? A team of researchers recently set out to evaluate micronutrient deficiencies in a contemporary group of adult patients with newly diagnosed celiac disease.
The research team included Adam C. Bledsoe MD; Katherine S. King MS; Joseph J. Larson BS; Melissa Snyder PhD; Imad Absah MD; Rok Seon Choung MD, PhD; and Joseph A.Murray MD. They are variously affiliated with the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, the Division of Biomedical Statistics and Informatics, the Division of Clinical Biochemistry, and the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN; and the Department of Pediatrics at ...

Celiac.com 02/19/2020 - What role, if any, do nutrients play in non-responsive celiac disease?
A team of researchers recently set out to compile an overview of the causes of non-responsive celiac disease (NRCD) in adults, highlight a systematic approach to investigate these patients, and assess the latest approaches to managing this subset of celiac disease. 
The team included Hugo A. Penny, Elisabeth M. R. Baggus, Anupam Rej, John A. Snowden, and David S. Sanders. They are variously associated with the Academic Unit of Gastroenterology, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK; the Lydia Becker Institute of Inflammation and Immunology, University of Manchester in Manchester, UK; and the Department of Haematology, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Sheffield,...

Celiac.com 04/15/2023 - Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects the small intestine, triggered by the ingestion of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. One often overlooked consequence of untreated and undiagnosed celiac disease is the potential for nutrient deficiencies. Due to the damage caused to the lining of the small intestine, absorption of various essential nutrients may be impaired, leading to deficiencies that can have wide-ranging health effects. In this article, we will explore the connection between celiac disease and nutrient deficiencies, focusing on several key vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients.
The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron...

Celiac.com 04/30/2025 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. While the primary treatment is a strict gluten-free diet, many patients—even those without severe digestive symptoms—may still face nutritional deficiencies. This summary explores how celiac disease, both before and after diagnosis, can lead to deficiencies in key vitamins, including A, E, B9 (folate), B12, and K. It also highlights how a gluten-free diet, if not carefully managed, might contribute to these deficiencies.
How Celiac Disease Affects Vitamin Absorption
In untreated celiac disease, damage to the small intestine impairs nutrient absorption. While severe malabsorption (leading to dramatic weight loss and deficiencies) is less common today due...
