Mediterranean Gluten-Free Diet: Is It a Fair Bet for the Treatment of Gluten-Related Disorders?

Abstract: Gluten-free diet (GFD) is the current treatment of gluten-related disorders. It eliminates wheat, barley, and rye, while the exclusion of oats is still under debate. GFD is based on a combination of naturally gluten-free foods and gluten-free substitutes of cereal-based foods. Although effective as treatment of gluten-related disorders, today there is concern about how to improve GFD's nutritional quality, to make it not only gluten-free, but also healthy. The “Mediterranean diet” (MedD) refers to the dietary … Show more

“…Diagnosis is based on blood tests, eventually integrated into endoscopic findings and genetic analysis [ 78 ]. The only effective and available treatment is adherence to a gluten-free diet, limiting the daily gluten intake to 10–50 mg/day [ 80 ]. Although the GFD is highly effective and it is, so far, the only therapeutic option for coeliac patients, the literature underlines how nutritionally unbalanced it is, especially compared with the MD.…”

“…Newly diagnosed celiac patients and those who do not adhere to the GFD may be more affected; however, those who follow the GFD but consume manufactured gluten-free products in excess may also have negative consequences, and this may favor the development of conditions such as obesity or cardiovascular diseases [17,18]. We recently proposed the use of a food pyramid based on the Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes the addition of gluten-free components to the pyramid, and the resulting diet is not only gluten-free but also nutritionally satisfactory [19].…”

“…A balanced gluten-free Mediterranean diet can provide the necessary amounts of micronutrients. Gluten-free cereals and pseudo-cereals, such as rice, whole wheat rice, quinoa, buckwheat, corn, teff, and fonio, are all good sources of micronutrients (including selenium and zinc) and important antioxidant molecules, and all of them are main components of the Mediterranean diet [19]. The Mediterranean diet pattern is a sustainable diet, which incorporates food security, and social-cultural, environmental, and economic welfare for future generations.…”

“…Thus, to ensure the safety and efficacy of the GFD, the indication should be evaluated by a specialized gastroenterologist and a dietary planning guidance from a nutritionist or dietitian should be provided to assess the fulfillment of all nutritional needs and prevent deficiency of key nutrients and malnutrition ( 68 , 92 ). To avoid the risk of malnutrition in patients with gluten-related disorders, a combination of the Mediterranean diet and the GFD has been proposed as an alternative to reach a healthy gluten-free state ( 93 ). In addition, the GFD may have a considerable psychological impact and interfere with social life, also due to low availability, high costs, and food labeling of gluten-free products, which may also limit adherence to the diet ( 94 ).…”
