Celiac disease (CD) is a permanent immune reaction to gluten in those with a genetic predisposition. This study was designed to evaluate menopause-associated symptoms, mood, bone quality, and IgA antibody levels in women with CD, untreated and treated with a gluten-free diet (GFD), and with or without resistance exercise. The randomised controlled trial was conducted on 28 Spanish women (>:40 years old). Participants were divided into the following intervention groups: personalised gluten-free nutrition plan + exercise (GFD + E): personalised gluten-free nutrition plan (GFD): celiac controls (NO-GFD): and non-celiac controls (CONTROL). The participants responded to the Menopause Rating Scale and the Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaires. Bone quality was measured with ultrasound and IgA with a blood test. After 12 weeks of intervention, the GFD + E group showed significant improvement in urogenital symptoms and scored higher on the &lsquo:vigour&rsquo: subscale of the POMS. Negative associations were found between the total score on the Menopause Rating Scale and the &lsquo:vigour&rsquo: subscale of the POMS questionnaire. Only those women who underwent a personalised GFD nutritional intervention combined with resistance exercise demonstrated significant changes after the intervention.
