    Bones of contention: bone mineral density recovery in celiac disease - a systematic review

    Grace-Farfaglia P

    Published in Nutrients

    Methodology

    Systematic review of bone mineral density outcomes on a gluten-free diet with and without calcium and vitamin D.

    Key Findings

    Bone density improves substantially in the first year of a strict gluten-free diet; calcium and vitamin D repletion supports but does not replace dietary adherence.

    Conclusions

    Gluten-free adherence is the primary driver of bone recovery in celiac disease.

    Limitations

    Heterogeneous cohorts; few randomised supplement comparisons.

    Supplements Studied

    Vitamin D
    Vitamin

    Calcium and vitamin D repletion supports but does not replace gluten-free adherence for bone recovery.

    Calcium
    Mineral

    Calcium repletion supports bone density recovery alongside a strict gluten-free diet.

    Outcomes Measured

    Bone Health Support

    Calcium and vitamin D support bone recovery in treated celiac disease.

    Bone Mineral Density

    Bone mineral density improves substantially in the first year of a strict gluten-free diet.
