The investigators propose the Gluten Free Nutrition Optimization through Ultra-processed food Reduction and Improved Strategies for Health (GF-NOURISH) study to demonstrate the feasibility and success of a nutritional education program focused on naturally occurring gluten-free foods and minimizing ultra-processed gluten-free foods. The investigators hypothesize that nutritional educational (GF-NOURISH) intervention will have multiple health benefits
NCT04806620
The unhide® Project is a non-interventional, longitudinal research study designed to establish a secure data repository of demographic, health, and lifestyle information from individuals with brain inflammation and related neuroinflammatory conditions. Participants in the United States aged 2 years and older will provide self-reported health data, biometrics, and symptom diaries through the MyDataHelps™ app (branded as unhide® for this study). The goal is to create comprehensive longitudinal profiles to facilitate research into disease subtypes, causes, diagnostics, and potential treatments, as well as to identify potential participants for future optional studies. "Healthy" individuals without brain inflammation are also eligible to participate. The digital health research platform used in this study was originally developed and designed by Solve M.E and was called SolveTogether. The Brain Inflammation Collaborative (BIC) expanded upon Solve M.E.'s work to include related diagnoses, pediatric participants, enhance symptom tracking, and more. BIC and Solve M.E. combined Solve Together and unhide®, to create The unhide® Solve Together Unified Platform in 2025.
NCT07157137
Although a gluten-free diet (GFD) is essential for patients with coeliac disease (CD), many do not follow it strictly. Exposure to gluten causes villous atrophy, can deteriorate nutritional status, and can lead to deficiencies. The ESPGHAN recommends combining multiple methods to assess GFD adherence. The Celiac Dietary Adherence Test (CDAT) and measuring the gluten immunogenic peptide in urine (uGIP) or stool (sGIP) were suggested. This study aims to evaluate and compare the usefulness of an adapted CDAT, the rapid tests for detecting uGIP and sGIP, for assessing adherence to a GFD in children with CD. Additionally, we will assess these children's nutritional status. Patients, aged 2-18 years, diagnosed with CD, who have been on a GFD for at least 6 months, will be included. Clinical characteristics and anthropometric measurements will be recorded. The adapted CDAT form will be applied. A single urine and stool samples will be collected immediately, and rapid tests for the detection of GIP will be performed. The serum levels of anti-transglutaminase antibodies (IgA), albumin, ferritin, folate, vitamins B12, A, E, 25-OH vitamin D, blood count and lipid profile will be measured.
NCT03562221
This study aims to investigate the impact of being on a gluten free diet the first three years of life compared to a daily intake of a probiotic supplementation or placebo on the risk of developing celiac disease autoimmunity or celiac disease in genetically susceptible children. This is a three-arm (1:1:1) randomized trial where study participants are randomly allocated to one of the three study groups before the age of 4 months. Regular clinical visits (4 times/year) during the intervention phase and yearly there after, up to the age of 7 years.
NCT06921343
This study aims to understand how to best manage iron deficiency in children newly diagnosed with celiac disease. Many children with celiac disease have low iron levels, even if they do not have anemia. While some doctors recommend iron supplements, others believe that simply following a gluten-free diet may be enough to restore iron levels naturally. In this study, children with newly diagnosed celiac disease and low iron levels (but normal hemoglobin) will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Gluten-Free Diet Only - No additional iron supplements Gluten-Free Diet + Iron Supplementation Researchers will compare iron store levels over one year to see if iron supplements provide any additional benefit beyond the gluten-free diet alone. The study will also track possible side effects of iron supplements, such as stomach discomfort. This study will help doctors determine the best approach to managing iron deficiency in children with celiac disease, ensuring they receive the safest and most effective treatment.
NCT06914024

NCT06783673
The aim is to study the clinical, serological, endoscopic and histopathological characteristics and treatment outcome of children diagnosed with celiac disease in Sohag University Hospital
NCT06007898
Managing a strict gluten-free diet is crucial for children and young people with coeliac disease. However, this can have adverse effects on psychological well-being and quality of life. Despite appeals from families, clinicians, and researchers, psychological support is not routinely provided to these families. This project aims to adapt existing self-help psychological resources used for food allergy, gastrointestinal disease, and type one diabetes to cater to families dealing with coeliac disease. The process involves collaboration with families and clinicians to modify these resources. Subsequently, a feasibility randomised controlled trial will be conducted to assess the viability and acceptability of these resources. In the trial, 50 families will complete well-being and quality of life questionnaires, along with assessments of their child's gluten-free dietary management. Families will be divided into groups receiving the psychological resources either immediately or after a two-month delay. Follow-up questionnaires will be administered at one and two months for all families, regardless of intervention access. Feedback on the resources and research participation will be gathered. The expectation is that these self-help psychological resources for parents will enhance gluten-free diet management, quality of life for coeliac children and young people, and well-being for parents.
NCT05084937
Aims of this study are to evaluate adolescents with celiac disease during their transition from pediatrics to adult care, and to develop better healthcare follow-up practices.
NCT06324539
Celiac disease (CD) is a common auto-immune disorder induced by gluten ingestion in genetically susceptible individuals (HLA-DQ2/DQ8). Gluten induces small-bowel villous atrophy and a specific immune response characterized by the production of CD-autoantibodies against transglutaminase 2 (anti-TG2) and endomysium (EMA). In symptomatic patients with positive-serum antibodies and villous atrophy, the diagnosis of CD is clearcut. However, 10-30% of patients evaluated for suspected CD show only mild histopathologic changes and fluctuating serologic markers, a condition identified as potential CD. In such cases the diagnosis may remain uncertain. CD-autoantibodies are produced by intestinal B-cells in the early phases of the disease, before their appearance in the serum and when the duodenal mucosa is still normal. Intestinal CD-antibodies (I-CD-abs) are a marker of CD, have a high sensitivity and specificity for CD and identify those patients with potential CD who are at risk of progression to villous atrophy. I-CD-abs can be detected by double immunofluorescence staining on frozen duodenal sections or by using an endomysial antibody assay in the culture medium of duodenal biopsies (EMAbiopsy). The diagnostic accuracy of these techniques is comparable as they both have high sensitivity and specificity. However, their implementation in clinical practice is limited because they require both experienced operators and well-equipped laboratories. There is an unmet need: the development of a new simple and effective diagnostic tool that any gastroenterology unit can use in routine diagnostics to ensure a prompt diagnosis in suspected CD patients, who may benefit from a therapy based on gluten-free diet, and to reduce both unnecessary medical investigations and diagnostic delays. In order to simplify and shorten times for the detection of these intestinal antibodies, the study aims to substitute the EMAbiopsy assay with a supernatant obtained quickly after mechanical lysis of fresh intestinal biopsy specimen. The obtained samples will be tested with rapid (about 15 minutes) immune-chromatographic anti-TG2 assay (Rapid Intestinal anti-TG2 Assay).

The compliance to a gluten free diet GFD and supplemented product will be confirmed by a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ).
NCT06038344
Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune gastrointestinal disease that is caused by intolerance to gluten in the diet. The mainstay of treatment is a gluten-free diet (GFD). Children with CD on the GFD often have low micronutrient intakes (e.g. folate, iron) and high intakes of sugar and fat. Current Canadian nutrition guideline does not address these nutritional limitations. The investigation team developed a novel GF-food guide (GFFG). This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the impact of GFFG on diet quality and adherence to the GFD in newly diagnosed children and youth with celiac disease in the clinical setting. The investigators will compare dietary counselling using the GFFG versus the standard of care in children newly diagnosed with CD and their parents to see if participant care outcomes (diet quality, nutrition literacy, adherence to the GFD) improved over six months.

NCT04240340
Being diagnosed with coeliac disease means that individuals can no longer consume things containing gluten, such as bread or cake, or they can become very ill. This can make situations involving food challenging, such as social situations or lunch at school. The investigators know that being diagnosed with coeliac disease as a teenager can be particularly upsetting and can lead to problems such as anxiety or low mood. Research suggests that when young people are worried about the impact of their condition on their life, they can find it challenging to tell their doctor or ask for support. The investigators would like to understand the experiences of young people with coeliac disease who attend the Paediatric Gastroenterology service at a local children's hospital. The investigators are particularly interested in the reasons why young people either feel able or unable to tell their doctor that they are experiencing difficulties relating to their wellbeing during their appointments, in order to improve support for young people. This study aims to recruit young people between the ages of 11 and 16, who are attending secondary school, to ask them about the things that make it easier or more difficult to share any concerns about their wellbeing with their doctor.
