- Diagnosis confirmation: Blood tests showing antibodies along with intestinal biopsy confirm celiac disease diagnosis prior to dietary modification.
- Treatment strategy: Complete avoidance of gluten-containing foods like wheat, barley, rye is mandatory; substitution with gluten-free alternatives is necessary.

MALNUTRITION IN ELDERLY PATIENTS
Adequate nutrition is fundamental for maintaining health in older adults. Malnutrition among elderly individuals can lead to serious medical issues if not promptly addressed.
- Causative factors: Reduced appetite, difficulty chewing/swallowing, chronic illnesses, or social isolation may contribute to poor nutrient intake in seniors.
