How to Find a Celiac Disease Dietitian / Nutritionist
For Patients Who Are Gluten-Free, Nutritionist Counseling Is Essential

| Quote: | People with celiac disease face complicated nutritional challenges, even if they are following the gluten-free diet. First, they must recover (as much as possible) from the nutrient malabsorption that occurred while they were still eating gluten, which might have caused anemia, low bone mineral density and osteoporosis, vitamin deficiencies, and other problems. As if that weren’t enough, unlike gluten-containing products in the supermarket, few commercial gluten-free products are enriched or fortified with extra vitamins, making it difficult for people with celiac disease to get enough vitamins in their diet.
Gluten-free products are often low in B vitamins, calcium, vitamin D, iron, zinc, magnesium, and fiber. In fact, research has shown that people with celiac disease are at risk for several side effects of the gluten-free diet, including an increased incidence of obesity. |
