  • Title: Iron deficiency in coeliac disease is mild and it is detected and corrected by gluten-free diet.
    Author: Ståhlberg MR, Savilahti E, Siimes MA.
    Journal: Acta Paediatr Scand; 1991 Feb; 80(2):190-3. PubMed ID: 2035309.
    Abstract:
    In 54 children with coeliac disease, mild iron deficiency anaemia or evidence of iron deficiency without anaemia were common at the time of diagnosis. Treatment with a gluten-free diet without iron medication eliminated all evidence of iron deficiency and completely normalized laboratory values. Subsequent challenge with gluten resulted in the rapid reappearance of suboptimal iron balance as evidenced by a decrease in serum ferritin concentration.
