Introduction: Celiac Disease (CD) is a multisystem pathology, caused  by gluten intake, and requires the elimination of gluten food for life to improve symptoms. However, this dietary suppression could keep celiac away from the recommended nutritional requirements. The objective of the present study was to know the average intake of macronutrients in celiac children with a gluten-free diet (DLG) and compare it with the diet of non-celiac children. Materials and Methods: the study was carried out in celiac and non- celiac population (control group) of 6 to 11 years old, of both genders. In it, the evaluation of food consumption was made through two 24-hour reminders. The Bayesian test of Estimation of Difference of Means - Exact Method was used as statistical analysis. Results: 40 celiac and 40 non-celiac were studied. There were no significant differences in socioeconomic status or nutritional status. It was observed that the majority of celiacs exceeded carbohydrate and protein recommendations, as did the control group. Conclusion: the GFD performed by celiac children aged 6 to 11 years old presents a grater and excessive consumption of carbohydrates and fats compared to RDI.
