Iron Supplement for Children with Celiac Disease and Low Iron
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This trial compares two types of iron supplements (Sucrosomial Iron and Ferric Maltol) to see which works better and causes fewer side effects in women with low iron levels. It may help if you have mild to moderate anemia and are not taking other iron supplements.
This study tests two different iron formulas to see which one improves iron levels and quality of life. You might qualify if you have low iron stores (ferritin under 50 ng/mL) and answer yes to at least two questions about iron deficiency symptoms.
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 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 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.
