Celiac disease, an autoimmune enteropathy, is triggered by the ingestion of gluten. It causes intestinal inflammation that results in atrophy of the intestinal villi, impairing the absorption of macro and micronutrients, and manifesting as nutritional deficiencies and digestive disorders. A gluten-free diet is the only treatment for this disease. This condition represents a major challenge for athletes, who must adapt their diet.Through a literature review and a field survey, this book explores the concrete difficulties encountered by celiac athletes. The survey mobilized nearly 200 participants, from amateurs to high-level athletes. This rich study sample is ideal for analyzing field issues.This book aims to develop a comprehensive and practical approach to enable people with celiac disease to reconcile dietary requirements and athletic performance. Based on their experience, the community pharmacist plays a major role in supporting these patients through personalized nutritional monitoring, prevention of deficiencies, and therapeutic education.
