Summary:In the last few years, an increasing number of individuals have adopted a gluten free diet (GFD). A significant proportion of that includes patients affected by celiac disease (CD), who have to follow a strict GFD for medical purposes.

For these reasons, research on the GFD and its clinical use and biological effects is urgently needed.
