[Gluten-free diet for children].
Children with celiac disease do not share the same risks as adults, and should have an adapted diet and a prolonged follow-up until adulthood. The following indications seem reasonable: in symptomatic children and adults, gluten free diet during several years in children and for the entire life in adults; in children becoming "silent", without any clinical or biological signs of malnutrition, discussion of coming back to normal diet, under the condition a strict follow-up and restarting gluten free diet at age of 25 and/or in case of pregnancy, to prevent the complications of celiac disease in adulthood; prolonged follow-up for adolescents and young adults returned to a "latent" disease.
