Background:
New treatments in coeliac disease are being vigorously pursued to either replace or facilitate the difficult-tofollow gluten-free diet.
Design:
The present review intends to summarise the challenges in gluten-free diet adherence during the transitional period, as reflected in the last Prague consensus, published in 2016.
Results:
The honourable panel members recommended that dietary adherence and the consequences of nonadherence represent key components for discussion in the transitional period setting.
Conclusions:
There are numerous difficulties in adhering to gluten withdrawal, but the transition period from adolescence to young adulthood is considered a fragile and high-risk period for intentional and unintentional gluten intake.
