The Link between the Clinical Features of Atopic Dermatitis and Gluten-related Disorders

Abstract

Patients affected by non-celiac gluten sensitivity usually report both intestinal and extra-intestinal symptoms arising shortly after the ingestion of gluten-containing food. Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects both children and adults. We present the case of a family composed of a mother (32 years old) and her two daughters (6 and 9 years old) who were diagnosed with atopic dermatitis and gluten related disorders.
