In Vivo Effects of the Gluten Friendly Bread in Coeliac Disease
In the last two decades, a series of epidemiological studies have shown a particular increase in Coeliac Disease (CD), a life-long intolerance to gluten proteins (the seed storage proteins) present in most cereals (wheat, barley and rye) both in the United States and Europe, and in developing countries. In these subjects, the consumption of cereals containing gluten causes a chronic inflammatory process leading to lesions in the small intestine and a dysfunction in nutrient absorption.The only current treatment for CD is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. In most cases (some people do not respond) this dietary regimen guarantees the full...

MAgnetic Resonance Imaging in COeliac Disease
One in 100 people suffers from coeliac disease. It affects the lining of the bowel and causes many symptoms such as diarrhoea, wind, stomach pain, constipation and nausea. The only treatment so far is a strict glutenfree diet for life which reverses the bowel damage and often improves symptoms. Up to 25% of patients however may have persistent symptoms despite the gluten free diet but the reasons for this are not clear. This research aims to help us understand how the gluten free diet works. Investigators will use medical imaging (magnetic resonance imaging or MRI) to measure the volumes of fluid in the small bowel, the size of the large...

Malnutrition In Non-Celiac Wheat Sensitivity Patients
Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or 'wheat sensitivity' (NCWS) is included in the spectrum of gluten-related disorders. No data are available on the prevalence of low bone mass density (BMD) in NCWS. Our study aims to evaluate the prevalence of malnutrition in NCWS patients and search for correlations with other clinical characteristics. This prospective observation study will include 90 NCWS patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-like symptoms, 90 IBS and 90 celiac controls. Patients will be recruited at the Internal Medicine and at the Gastroenterology Units of the University of Palermo. Elimination diet and double-blind placebo...

Preservation of Residual Beta Cell Mass and Prevention of Celiac Disease in Children With Recent Onset Type 1 Diabetes
The overall aim of this project is to investigate whether a gluten free diet after the onset of type 1 diabetes (T1D) can better preserve the remaining beta cell mass and at the same time prevent the development of Celiac Disease (CD) in these patients. Specific aims • To study whether gluten free diet during one year after the onset of diabetes influence the appearance and duration of clinical remission in children with Type 1 diabetes. New data show that a gluten free diet is beneficial concerning the insulin production after the onset of diabetes. The investigators want to investigate if gluten is a triggering protein for the...

Prevention of Celiac Disease in Skåne
This study aims to investigate the impact on 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. Study participants will be randomly allocated to one of the three study groups before the age of 4 months and will remain in that group with the corresponding intervention during the three first years of life. Regular visits to a study nurse and contact with study dietician will be scheduled. The dietician will support the families in keeping the correct...

Randomized Crossover Trial for the Evaluation of the Possible Effects in the Intestine of Two Different Pharmaceutical Forms of L - Thyroxine in Patients With Primary Acquired Hypothyroidism
Thyroid disorders, in particular hypothyroidism, are associated with gastrointestinal impairment, such as celiac disease. A study reported an increased prevalence of celiac disease in a large cohort of children affected by congenital hypothyroidism, underlying the relationship between these two conditions. The hypothesis of our study is that the onset of celiac disorder may be related to the gut concentration of thyroid hormone (TH) in hypothyroidism patients treated with replacement therapy. In fact, TH replacement therapy showed a low bioavailability with a consequent high gut concentration. Two different pharmaceutical formulations...
