    Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder triggered when genetically predisposed individuals consume gluten, a protein found in cereals such as wheat, barley, and rye. Its ingestion causes damage to the mucosa of the small intestine and interferes with proper nutrient absorption, which may lead to various nutritional complications. For this reason, the main treatment consists of maintaining a strict gluten-free diet, considered the fundamental pillar in the management of the disease. In this context, the present study was developed through a systematic review of recent scientific literature with the aim of analyzing the nutritional requirements, nutritional status, and dietary recommendations for adults with celiac disease. The search was conducted in scientific databases including PubMed, Scopus, SciELO, Hospital Nutrition, and Web of Science. A total of 320 articles were identified, which were evaluated and refined following the PRISMA methodology guidelines to select the most relevant studies and remove duplicate records. Based on the scientific evidence collected, a dietary guide for adults with celiac disease was developed, including recommendations to promote a balanced gluten-free diet to improve their nutritional status and contribute to a better quality of life.
