The investigators are conducting a pilot study to investigate the impact of late compared to early introduction of gluten-free oats on gut symptoms, nutrition status, celiac activity and quality of life in patients with a recent diagnosis of celiac disease. Pilot study means that it will recruit a low number of participants to see if it is possible to perform the study, and to estimate how many participants will be needed for the large study. The study will collect information through questionnaires that assess gut symptoms, quality of life, mood changes and dietary patterns. Moreover, the study will collect data on tests done during clinic visits to check the status of patients' celiac markers and nutritional status (such as vitamins and minerals). Physical exam will also take place, and include measurement of weight, BMI and body composition in a 3D scanner. The dietitian will analyze patients' diet at each visit during the study period. Given the lack of evidence on timing of introduction of gluten-free oats for patients with a recent celiac diagnosis, and the potential risks of limiting oats in a gluten-free diet, the results will hopefully lead to better understanding of whether one strategy has a benefit over the other.

Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |
