Clinical, serological and histological remission in celiac disease is strictly related to long life complete exclusion of gluten from the diet. Because celiac disease is an autoimmune systemic disorder the potential complications include a wide spectrum with two severe long-term morbidities: osteoporosis and malignancy. Gluten free diet, easy to be recommended, is difficult to be followed. This study aimed at evaluating the diagnostic criteria and dietary instruction, quality of life issues, impact of the gluten free diet on the celiac patient.
