Here’s a link to the abstract: gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-…

Methods: “We performed a prospective trial of 3031 individuals at risk for celiac disease based on screens for EmA. Of 148 seropositive individuals, 40 fulfilled inclusion criteria and were randomly assigned to groups placed on a GFD or gluten-containing diets.”

Results: “The GFD group also had reduced indigestion (P=.006), reflux (P=.05), and anxiety (P=.025), and better health, based on the visual analog scale (P=.017), than the gluten-containing diet group.”

Take-home message: A gluten free diet improves symptoms (even in “asymptomatic” patients) with celiac disease
