Quality of life in screen-detected and typical coeliac disease and the effect of excluding dietary gluten

Abstract

Quality of life in screen-detected coeliac patients did not differ significantly compared to controls. Two of eight QoL parameters improved significantly in typical coeliac patients compared to baseline data. Dietary gluten exclusion in typical coeliac patients led to a significant improvement in health at 1 year follow-up, in contrast to screen-detected coeliac patients.
