Prognosis of Celiac Disease
Despite our current understanding of celiac disease, a gluten free diet is the only current treatment proven effective for CD and does not guarantee full relief from CD in many patients. Moreover, patients on a gluten free diet may develop refractory CD. Thus, there is an urgent need to look for other effective treatment options. Some of the promising treatment involves probiotics and drugs that are aimed at modifying gluten and enhancing tight junctions, but more research is needed.
