Gluten-Targeted Dietary and Non-Dietary Therapeutic Approaches in Celiac Disease

Celiac disease (CD) represents a significant global health concern, with its intricate interplay of genetic, environmental, and immunological factors posing substantial challenges for researchers and clinicians alike. This book seeks to provide a comprehensive exploration of the latest advancements in the understanding, diagnosis, and management of CD. Our intent is to serve as a valuable resource for a wide spectrum of readers, including healthcare professionals, researchers, students, and policymakers, fostering an informed dialogue on this multifaceted condition. The book is structured to encompass a thorough examination of CD’s epidemiology, pathophysiology, and diagnostic methodologies, emphasizing both established practices and innovative techniques. It also delves deeply into the dietary and non-dietary therapeutic interventions that are shaping the future of CD management. From the critical role of gluten-free diets to groundbreaking pharmacological approaches, this text provides an integrative perspective that highlights the strides made in addressing both the symptomatic and underlying immunological aspects of the disease. One of the unique strengths of this volume lies in its interdisciplinary approach, bridging insights from gastroenterology, immunology, nutrition science, and even artificial intelligence. The chapters offer a nuanced understanding of how evolving diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies can be harmonized to improve patient outcomes. Furthermore, the inclusion of discussions on nutritional considerations, gluten-free food innovations, and the socioeconomic dimensions of CD management ensures holistic coverage of the subject. In this book, we present evidence-based findings, supported by extensive clinical and preclinical research.
