Evaluation of the Effect of Gluten-Free Diet and Mediterranean Diet

This study is a prospective, single-blind study including case and control groups. Before the study started, participants were informed about the benefits and risks of the study. Participants were randomly divided into four different groups (MD, GFD, MGFD and control group). The intervention groups (MD group (n=10), GFD (n=10), MGFD (n=10)) were administered weekly diets by a dietitian for 12 weeks according to individual-specific and daily energy needs and weight loss was not targeted. Patients in the control group (n=10) did not receive any special dietary intervention. Patients were interviewed weekly to assess adherence to the study protocol and food consumption was recorded at each interview; those who complied with the weekly planned menus by less than eighty percent were excluded from the study.
