      abstract = {&lt;p&gt;Background: Coeliac disease (CeD) is a type of  enteropathy characterised by an immune-mediated reaction to  ingested gluten, resulting in impaired absorption of  nutrients and symptoms such as bloating, abdominal cramping  and diarrhoea. Currently, the only treatment for CeD is  adherence to a gluten-free diet (GFD). The latest draft  guidance from the US Food and Drug Administration  recommends that dietitians experienced in CeD management  evaluate patients during the screening and treatment period  of CeD clinical trials to assess adherence to a GFD.  However, there are currently no standardised guidelines on  dietary assessment of patients with CeD on a GFD and there  is a lack of widespread availability of expertise in this  field.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Methods: Based on the findings of a  literature review conducted between April and September  2023, this article provides an overview of key points to  consider in the nutritional and dietary assessment of  patients with CeD who are following a GFD, with particular  focus on the clinical trial setting.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Results: Based  on a consensus from dietitians and gastroenterologists  experienced in treating patients with CeD, we present  specific recommendations for registered dietitians who  manage patients with CeD. We also describe the development  of a simplified tool for assessment of adherence to a GFD,  the Gluten-Free Adherence Survey, based on these  recommendations.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Conclusions: These guidelines cover  nutritional and dietary assessment of patients with CeD,  physical assessments, intake of oats, environmental  considerations and the disease burden.&lt;/p&gt;},
