Filter by: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.
The rationale of this study is to have a better understanding of the perception of the pulmonologists, general practitioners and patients of adherence (causes, main consequences, supportive tools,..) and the use of TAI-questionnaire (appreciation, usability,…) by interviewing pulmonologists & general practitioners and a survey with patients. Based on the outcome, projects and tools can be developed to help health care professionals to motivate patients to improve adherence and to help patients to increase their adherence to inhalation therapy.
