Iron in Celiac Disease: Diet vs. Supplements
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to treat low iron in children newly diagnosed with celiac disease: getting iron from food versus taking iron supplements. It aims to find which approach works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a special iron supplement taken by mouth helps children who have celiac disease (a condition where the body can't digest gluten) and low iron levels or anemia (not enough healthy red blood cells). The iron supplement is designed to be easily absorbed by the body.
This study compares two forms of iron supplements to see which works better and has fewer side effects in pregnancy. If you are a healthy pregnant person in the Vancouver area, you may be able to help find the best way to prevent iron deficiency.
This study helps children with newly diagnosed celiac disease eat a healthier gluten-free diet by reducing processed foods. It aims to improve nutrition and overall health.
This study checks how well children with celiac disease follow a gluten-free diet and looks at their nutrition. It may help you understand if your child is getting the right nutrients.
This study compares two iron medicines—one a simple iron pill and the other a gentle iron form—to see which works better for children with low iron levels (anemia). If your child has iron deficiency anemia and none of the listed health issues, they may be able to join.
This trial studies IV ferric derisomaltose to treat iron deficiency anemia in children under 18. It is meant for children whose anemia is from a true iron problem and who either cannot tolerate or do not respond to iron taken by mouth, or have certain kidney-related causes.
