Summary
Anemia and sideropenia are a common effect of untreated celiac disease. In a portion of
patients a certain degree of hypoferritinemia persist after the diagnosis, despite a good
compliance and clinical response to gluten-free diet. These patients are usually
premenopausal women in whom the cyclic menstrual bleeding and the oral iron intake are not
balanced.
The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of a pharmacological therapy, frequently not
tolerated, and a dietary approach through a iron-rich diet in this subset of patients.
