Gluten-free (GF) foods are generally costlier than their gluten-containing counterparts. We conducted an anonymous electronic survey to assess food insecurity in households with a child on a prescribed GF diet and how this relates to GF diet adherence during the COVID-19 pandemic. The proportion of households who screened positive using the Hunger Vital Sign was similar to national rates (19%-24%). Approximately 5% of families who screened food secure reported GF food insecurity. Parent-reported intentional gluten consumption due to limited GF food availability in the household increased during the pandemic (7.5%). Food insecurity should be considered in the management of celiac disease.

针对有儿童遵循无麸质饮食的家庭在 COVID-19 期间粮食不安全的调查研究。

无麸质（GF）食品通常比含麸质食品更昂贵。我们进行了一项匿名电子调查，以评估有孩子接受无麸质饮食的家庭的粮食不安全状况，以及这与在 COVID-19 大流行期间坚持无麸质饮食之间的关系。使用饥饿生命体征筛查呈阳性的家庭比例与全国水平相似（19%-24%）。大约 5% 接受食品安全筛查的家庭表示 GF 食品不安全。家长报告称，由于家庭中的无麸质食品供应有限，在大流行期间有意摄入麸质的人数有所增加（7.5%）。在乳糜泻的管理中应考虑粮食不安全问题。
