Good Compliance

Background and objective: Often micronutrient deficiencies cannot be detected when patient is already following a long-term gluten-free diet with good compliance (LTGFDWGC). The aim of this narrative review is to evaluate the most recent literature that considers blood micronutrient deficiencies in LTGFDWGC subjects, in order to prepare dietary supplementation advice (DSA). Materials and methods: A research strategy was planned on PubMed by defining the following keywords: celiac disease, vitamin B12, iron, folic acid, and vitamin D. Results: This review included 73 studies. The few studies on micronutrient circulating levels in long-term gluten-free diet (LTGFD) patients over 2 years with good compliance demonstrated that deficiency was detected in up to: 30% of subjects for vitamin B12 (DSA: 1000 mcg/day until level is normal, then 500 mcg), 40% for iron (325 mg/day), 20% for folic acid (1 mg/day for 3 months, followed by 400–800 mcg/day), 25% for vitamin D (1000 UI/day or more-based serum level or 50,000 UI/week if level is <20 ng/mL), 40% for zinc (25–40 mg/day), 3.6% of children for calcium (1000–1500 mg/day), 20% for magnesium (200–300 mg/day); no data is available in adults for magnesium. Conclusions: If integration with diet is not enough, starting with supplements may be the correct way, after evaluating the initial blood level to determine the right dosage of supplementation.

Ghanaian Women

In a study of dietary supplementation among women in Ghana, a disproportionately high number of pregnant study participants were found to no longer be pregnant, leading researchers to suspect that the very early identification of pregnancy status made possible by study participation may have contributed to an elevated incidence of elective abortion among study participants. While abortion is legal in Ghana under certain circumstances, misinformation regarding its legality and persistent stigmatization result in many Ghanaian women choosing abortion methods that are unsafe and often illegal. While the study of the potential benefits of dietary supplementation during pregnancy initially appeared to pose very little risk to participants, the unintended and unforeseen consequence of unsafe abortions required researchers to reevaluate study protocol. In the following discussion of this case, we explore the ethical considerations researchers must address when unintended consequences emerge in global health research.
