Gluten Reduction and Risk of Celiac Disease

Sponsor: Lund University

Summary

Celiac disease shares many features of other autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes. Recently, it was published that higher amounts of gluten intake increased the risk for celiac disease. Optimal amounts of gluten to be introduced during weaning have not yet been established. The aim is to investigate if a gluten-restricted diet (e.g. below 3 gram per day) during the first 3 years of life will reduce the risk of develop CDA and IA in genetically predisposed children by the age of 7 years. Children who screened positive for HLA DQ2/X (X is neither DQ2 nor DQ8) in the GPPAD-02 (ASTR1D \[ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT03316261\]) screening will be contacted by a study nurse.
