    Introduction: Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic and systemic autoimmune disorder that affects people with genetic susceptibility to gluten, a protein found in various cereals. It manifests itself with a wide range of signs and symptoms along with related diseases, and can even occur asymptomatically, thus complicating its diagnosis. It is mostly diagnosed in women and at younger ages than in men. The disorder has no cure, so its management focuses exclusively on nutrition. Objective: The objective of the review is to analyze current recommendations on the nutritional approach to celiac disease and identify areas of future research and unmet needs in the nutritional approach to celiac disease, including the exploration of alternative therapies. Methods: The methodology used was the bibliographic review of current articles or articles corresponding to the last 5 years that specifically address the nutritional approach in celiac disease. The search was carried out in specialized databases in health sciences: Scielo, ScienceDirect, Dialnet and Google Scholar. Conclusions: Strict adherence to a gluten-free diet (GFD) was found to be crucial for improving symptoms and gut health in patients with celiac disease.
