Authors Type of Study Country and Year Results
[2] Review Italy, 2010 Common nutrient deficiencies in celiac subjects at diagnosis are: iron, calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, zinc, folate, niacin, vitamin B12, riboflavin, calorie/protein, and fiber.
Deficiencies in folate, niacin, and vitamin B12 may occur after LTGFD.
[9] Review Italy, 2016 Low levels of fibers, folate, vitamin B12, vitamin D, calcium, iron, zinc and magnesium are common at diagnosis stage.
In some subsets of treated celiac disease (CD) patients they can persist.
[16] Review USA, 2005 Deficiencies in fiber, iron, calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, folate, niacin, vitamin B12, and riboflavin can occur at time of diagnosis.
Deficiencies in fiber, iron, calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium can persist after following a GFD. Diet and gluten-free products are often low in B vitamins, calcium, vitamin D, iron, zinc, magnesium, and fiber.
[17] Review Italy, 2013 Reduced levels of iron, folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin D are common at the time of diagnosis.
After GFD low levels of folate, vitamin B12 and vitamin D can persist.
[18] Review Italy, 2013 Common deficiencies at diagnosis include: fiber, iron, calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, folate, niacin, and vitamin B12.
Deficiencies of fiber, iron, calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, folate, niacin, vitamin B12 may persist after following a GFD.
Deficiencies of fiber, folate, niacin, vitamin B12, and riboflavin may persist after LTGFD.
