Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: according to the findings of the study, GIP fecal measurement in celiac disease could help to detect recent gluten-free transgressions without the need for additional tests. Therefore, it would be convenient to introduce GIP in the assessment of compliance with GFD to improve the adherence of the patients.

Reviewers’ commentary: the traditional methods used for the monitoring and adherence of the gluten free diet in the celiac population do not seem to reflect correctly if it is produced. The measurement of fecal GIP could be useful during follow-up, mainly to ensure good compliance and to rule out refractory celiac disease in selected patients, being able to avoid more bloody tests or problems derived from poor adherence to the diet.
