Plain language summary
Increasing evidence supports the hypothesis that changes in the intestinal microbiome is associated with various chronic diseases, including coeliac disease (CD). While it is known gluten consumption is one trigger for the onset of CD, other contributing factors remain largely unknown. The aim of this review was to summarize the current evidence on the relationship between the intestinal microbiome and CD. Based on the literature reviewed, the authors conclude though gut microbiome is suggested to be a trigger for the onset of CD, the current evidence is mixed. There is currently a multi-center prospective longitudinal study being done on celiac disease and the microbiome and the results from this are eagerly awaited.
