Histologic recovery among children with celiac disease on a gluten-free diet. A long-term follow-up single-center experience

Abstract

Histologic recovery in CD after starting a gluten-free diet in children takes at least 1 year and might be incomplete only in a small proportion of children, mainly associated with IgA immunodeficiency. Systematic follow-up of children with CD and persistent malabsorption syndrome is needed in order to avoid secondary complications.
