Gluten-free diet was associated with improved lipid ratios, CRP, and vascular markers in coeliac disease; leaves open whether it reduces clinical cardiovascular events.
Does a gluten-free diet improve instrumental and biochemical signs of atherosclerosis risk in adults with newly diagnosed coeliac disease?
