Iron deficiency in children with celiac disease
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares eating iron-rich foods versus taking iron supplements to treat low iron levels in children newly diagnosed with celiac disease. It aims to find which approach works better without causing stomach issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is 18 months to 18 years old
- Your child has just been diagnosed with celiac disease (using standard guidelines)
- Your child's iron stores (ferritin) are below 15 ng/dL
- Your child has normal red blood cell counts (hemoglobin, MCV, MCH) for their age and sex
- Your child has not taken iron supplements recently (oral iron for more than 14 days in the last 2 months, or IV iron in the last 6 months)

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 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 looks at how well children with coeliac disease stick to a gluten-free diet and checks their nutrition. It aims to see if their diet is healthy and if they get the right nutrients.
This trial tests whether giving iron directly into the bloodstream before surgery improves recovery for people with colorectal cancer who have low iron but are not anemic. It may help reduce fatigue and the need for blood transfusions after surgery.
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.
This trial tests an iron infusion called ferric carboxymaltose to treat iron deficiency anemia in children and teens seen in the emergency department. It aims to improve their hemoglobin levels and overall health.
