History of coeliac disease.
Patients with intestinal obstruction or partial intestinal obstruction.
Presence of diarrhoea associated with fever and/or blood in the stool.
Severe kidney impairment (i.e. estimated glomerular filtration rate \<30 ml/min).
Severe hepatic impairment (i.e. Child-Pugh B or C).

Any other significant health condition (e.g. cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, hepatic, neurologic, psychiatric, hematologic, oncologic, immune etc.) or non-health condition that in the investigator's judgement may: i) jeopardize the patient's safe participation in the trial or ii) make unlikely the patient's completion of the study or iii) make unlikely the patient's compliance with the study procedures (e.g. highly anticipated need of non-permitted treatments, terminal illness, etc.).
History of hypersensitivity to the study drug.
Treatment with biologic immunomodulatory and/or immunosuppressive drugs (e.g. anti-tumor necrosis factor \[TNF\] drugs) within 6 months prior to randomization.

Treatment with warfarin (or other coumarins) within 14 days prior to randomization.
Treatment with niacin within 30 days prior to randomization.
Topical facial or systemic antibiotics within 30 days before randomization;
