Аннотация
This case study analyzes the effects of a personalized nutritional intervention on immune function, gut health, and
symptomatology in a 10-year-old girl with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and celiac disease. The objective was to assess
changes in biological markers and correct nutritional deficiencies.
Over the course of one year, at the Mitogenix Innovations Clinic in Targu-Mures, a diet excluding gluten, lactose,
sugar, honey, and yeast was implemented. This dietary intervention was combined with functional foods and nutraceuticals to optimize metabolic status.
The results indicated increased levels of vitamin D3, zinc, and prealbumin, along with a reduction in anti-TPO,
anti-transglutaminase IgA/IgG, and total IgE levels. The study highlights the role of medical nutrition in immune
modulation and metabolic health, emphasizing the importance of continuous monitoring and personalized dietary
strategies in managing pediatric autoimmune disorders.
