The illness is the only intolerance to food that lasts throughout life. This intolerance to gluten disrupts the structure of the thin intestine and prevents the absorption of nutrients. The disease is often associated with other autoimmune diseases. In our country, the frequency is increasing. It can be found in different ages and clinical findings. Today, the most effective method of treatment is the removal of gluten from the daily diet. The gluten-free diet, which is active in the treatment phase, affects the entire life of the individual in the fastest period of growth and development. Strictly applied gluten-free diet may reduce the risk of many complications, including low bone mineral intensity and intestinal malignity associated with the disease. But it is not always easy to implement and follow a gluten-free diet by a child or family. Also, a gluten-free diet also causes some nutrients to be excessive ( saturated fats), high calorie intake and deficiency of certain nutrients (leaf, folic acid, vitamin B12, iron, zinc, magnesium). Especially when compared to gluten-free products, both magnesium, fiber and folic acid content are lower and more expensive. Many patients considered to be "resistant" to dietary therapy have also been found to consume gluten-containing nutrients. Therefore, a gluten-free diet should be well planned, the family and children should be educated and the patient should be followed for a long time. This editing article includes the dietary treatment applied in the disease, the principles of dietary treatment, the compliance with the diet and the factors affecting this compliance.
