Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Bifidobacteria are a group of probiotic bacteria that have been investigated for their potential benefits in supporting gut health, including in individuals with celiac disease. While there is no traditional use of Bifidobacteria specifically for celiac disease, scientific studies have explored their effects due to the recognized role of gut microbiota in modulating immune responses and maintaining intestinal barrier integrity. Research indicates that patients with celiac disease often exhibit an imbalance in gut microbiota (dysbiosis), characterized by a reduction in beneficial Bifidobacteria species and an increase in potentially harmful bacteria. Some small clinical trials and animal studies suggest that supplementation with Bifidobacteria may help restore a healthier microbial balance, reduce gut inflammation, and improve intestinal barrier function in celiac patients. For example, a few pilot studies have reported that Bifidobacterium supplementation can decrease markers of inflammation and may alleviate some gastrointestinal symptoms in individuals with celiac disease on a gluten-free diet. However, the evidence is still preliminary, with limited sample sizes and short study durations. There are no large, well-controlled clinical trials demonstrating significant clinical benefits or long-term safety specifically for celiac disease management. Therefore, while the rationale for using Bifidobacteria is grounded in emerging scientific findings, the evidence is currently limited and not strong enough to recommend it as a standard therapy for celiac disease.
