Celiac disease (CD) is the most common genetically based food intolerance in the world, with a prevalence among approximately 1% of the general population (Guandalini & Assiri, 2014). CD is a frequent disorder among Egyptian children, both in the general population and in at-risk groups(Abu-Zekry et al., 2008). It is estimated that the incidence of CD is 3 to13 cases per1000, with a higher prevalence among first-degree relatives of patients with CD.Lifelong adherence to a strict gluten free diet (GFD) remains the only available treatment for patients with CD and typically results in a complete return to health. Nevertheless, gluten is not found only in diet, Gluten is commonly used as a binder in products like medication, cosmetics, oral and skin care, and even children's toys. Gluten is found also in toothpastes and other oral health products and it can be swallowed by mistake and initiate immune response(Anon, n.d.). Unfortunately, there is no gluten free toothpaste available in the Egyptian market and it is very expensive if we bought it from Europe or USA. The tube will cost nearly 10 dolars .As a result, the production and availability of gluten free toothpaste in Egypt has become mandatory.
This project is expected to confirm the hypothesis that hyposplenism in patients with celiac disease is not conditioned by a selective memory deficiency of B lymphocytes. Other objectives of project are: - determination of gliadin 33-mer in faecal and urine as indicators patient´s adherence to gluten-free diet - determination of citrulline in plasma as an indicator of the overall functional capacity enterocytes
Subjects enrolled in this study will be evaluated for immune responses and histological changes in the small bowel following 2 doses of TIMP-GLIA or placebo and a 14-day oral gluten challenge.
Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects approximately 1% of the world's population 1. The diagnosis of CD requires clinical, histopathological and serological factors 2. Since upper gastrointestinal endoscopy allows only visualization of the small bowel up to the second part of duodenum therefore this study was designed to determine involvement of different segments of small bowel using endoscopic scale by Bonatto MW et al 3 in newly diagnosed patients of celiac disease.
To assess the efficacy and safety of AGY vs placebo when administered to individuals age 10 to 65 years with medically proven CD and on a gluten free diet
It is hoped that different forms of the same medicine, called PVP001, PVP002, and PVP003, will help people with celiac disease. Both healthy adults and adults with celiac disease will take part in this study. There are many main aims of the study. - To check if participants have side effects from different forms of the study medicine. These forms are called PVP001 (liquid in a cup), PVP002 capsule, and PVP003 tablet. - To check how well PVP003 breaks down gluten. - To check how much PVP003 participants can take without getting side effects from it. The study is in 4 parts. At the start of each part of the study, the study doctor will check to determine who can take part at the first study visit. Different groups of participants will be in different parts of the study. In all parts of the study, some participants will take 1 of the 3 forms of study medicine. Others will take a placebo. In this study, a placebo will look like the form of study medicine but will not have any medicine in it. This means that a placebo can either look like PVP001 liquid in a cup, the PVP002 tablet, or the PVP003 tablet. In Part 1, different small groups of participants will take lower to higher doses of PVP001 or PVP002 or a placebo. This is to work out the best dose of study medicine to take in other parts of the study. After treatment, participants will regularly visit the clinic to check that they have no problems with their treatment, including any side effects from their treatment. In Part 2, different small groups will take different doses of PVP001 or PVP002 or a placebo, either with or without a meal that has different amounts of gluten in it. This is to check if PVP001 or PVP002 has broken down gluten in the body. Participants will visit the clinic after treatment to check how much gluten has been broken down in the body. In Part 3, different small groups will take different doses of PVP003 or a placebo, either with or without a meal that has gluten in it. This is to check if PVP003 has broken down gluten in the body. Participants will visit the clinic after treatment to check if more gluten has broken down in the body. In Part 4, different small groups will take PVP003 or placebo 3 times a day for 5 days. After treatment, participants will visit the clinic to check that they have no problems with their treatment, including any side effects from their treatment.
The first aim of the study is to investigate the prevalence of persistent gastrointestinal symptoms and compliance with gluten-free diet and the intake of FODMAP in adult celiac patients. A web-based survey wil be performed and thereafter a randomized controlled trial to test the effect of a FODMAP reduction in patients with celiac disease with irritable bowel-like symptoms.
To assess the adherence to gluten free diet by measuring faecal and urinary gluten immunogenic peptides (GIP). This will provide an objective measure for adherence.
Recent studies have shown that FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols) free diet is efficient in subjects with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) and celiac disease (CD) can experience functional gastrointestinal symptoms not related to inflammation, but data about the use of low FODMAPs diet in these settings are still scarce. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the usefulness of a low FODMAPs diet in patients with IBS, non-active IBD and CD on strict gluten-free diet (GFD). A low FODMAPs diet could be a valid option to contrast abdominal symptoms in patients with IBS, non-active IBD and CD on GFD, thus improving the quality of life and the social relations.
