Abstract

The aim of the study was to estimate somatic development of children who recovered from secondary malabsorbtion syndrome. We examined 24 children 2.5-13 years old. Their weight when diagnosed was between 10-3 percentiles. Patients were treated with gluten free diet 8-36 month. After recovery (normal mucose in biopsy) 20 children (83.3\%) had normal somatic development and 4 (16.7\%) abnormal development. This abnormal development was caused by infantile cerebral palsy and Silver-Russel syndrome. Therapy by elimination diets gave villi regeneration and normal development in most of our patients.
