We aimed to assess the effect of iron supplementation versus no treatment on ferritin levels in newly diagnosed CD patients with ID adhering to a gluten-free diet (GFD). A retrospective review of children\u2009&lt;\u200918\u00a0years, with low ferritin (\u2264\u200910\u00a0ng\/mL) and normal hemoglobin levels diagnosed between 12.2018 and 12.2021. We compared hemoglobin and ferritin levels between patients who received supplemental iron to those who did not. Data, including demographics, laboratory tests, and anthropometrics, were collected at baseline, and at 6 and 12 months following the initiation of the GFD. Adherence to GFD was assessed at each visit. Among 304 children diagnosed during the study period, 43 (14.1%) had iron deficiency anemia and 60 (19.7%) ID without anemia. Among children with ID, 29 (48%) were female, mean age 7.3\u2009\u00b1\u20093.9\u00a0years. Twenty-nine (48%) children received iron supplementation, and 31 (52%) did not. At the 12-month follow-up visit, tissue transglutaminase levels decreased significantly (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), from a mean baseline level of 226.6\u2009\u00b1\u200947.8 to 34.5\u2009\u00b1\u200946 U\/mL in children that received iron supplementation and from 234.2\u2009\u00b1\u200952.4 to 74.5\u2009\u00b1\u200988.7 U\/mL in non-treated children, with no significant difference between the groups <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.22.
