Filter by:Randomized controlled trial will be conducted after getting informed consent form from each study participant meeting inclusion criteria (n=70, 35 control group +35 intervention group, 3-8years of age). After consumer acceptance against various attributes of aglutenic cupcake, the product will be provided in polyethylene bags containing 28 cupcakes (35gm by weight/cupcake, 2 cupcakes for each day) providing approximately 20% daily value (DV) of energy. Cupcakes of equal weight and size made with rice flour (mostly used recipe) will be provided to the control group. Further product will be provided on follow-up visits. The compliance to a gluten free diet GFD and supplemented product will be confirmed by a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ).
The investigators conducted a retrospective, observational cohort study which enrolled CD subjects aged 2-18y, diagnosed between Jan 2016 and Dec 2020. Demographic and laboratory data were collected at diagnosis and 1y after adherence to GFD. ID was determined according to hemoglobin and ferritin levels. The investigators compared CD subjects with and without ID at CD diagnosis in relation to TTG normalization at 1y.
This study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study to examine the effects of peer-interaction group support in adolescents with celiac disease (CD) in the 13-18 age group on the quality of life, friendship relations, and coping levels of adolescents. Six peer interactive group sessions were held with one week intervals with adolescents (n = 18) in the study group included in the sample for a period of 3 months. In the sessions, all participants were asked questions about the purpose of the session and a discussion environment was created. No training and counseling were provided to the adolescents in the control group (n = 18). Before and after the peer interactive group support, adolescents in the intervention and control group were asked to complete the quality of life, friendship qualities, and coping scales.
To study the prevalence and clinical features of celiac disease in children to develop new treatment approaches and rehabilitation strategies.
Being diagnosed with coeliac disease means that individuals can no longer consume things containing gluten, such as bread or cake, or they can become very ill. This can make situations involving food challenging, such as social situations or lunch at school. The investigators know that being diagnosed with coeliac disease as a teenager can be particularly upsetting and can lead to problems such as anxiety or low mood. Research suggests that when young people are worried about the impact of their condition on their life, they can find it challenging to tell their doctor or ask for support. The investigators would like to understand the experiences of young people with coeliac disease who attend the Paediatric Gastroenterology service at a local children's hospital. The investigators are particularly interested in the reasons why young people either feel able or unable to tell their doctor that they are experiencing difficulties relating to their wellbeing during their appointments, in order to improve support for young people. This study aims to recruit young people between the ages of 11 and 16, who are attending secondary school, to ask them about the things that make it easier or more difficult to share any concerns about their wellbeing with their doctor.
The investigators aim to examine the feasibility of incorporating serological celiac disease (CD) screening into general pediatric outpatient clinics in Sweden and through structured monitoring examine the effects of diagnosing and treating screening-detected CD. Screening will be tailored to general pediatric outpatient clinics in the Gothenburg metropolitan area with the goal to screen 1000 children over four months. Screening for CD will be carried out by measuring tissue transglutaminase autoantibodies (TGA) in blood. Children who are persistently TGA positive will be enrolled into a 6-12-month follow-up protocol responsible for diagnosing CD, installation of gluten-free diet and to assess their short-term impact upon the child's wellbeing. Other components to assess include (I) the feasibility to incorporate CD screening into busy pediatric practices; (II) parental/child interest in, and satisfaction with, participating in a CD screening program and (III) identifying key considerations for a possible scaled-up, broad-based, CD screening.
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.
Background/Aim: Celiac disease is a common immune-mediated disorder, and the only currently available treatment is a gluten-free diet. Recent studies have shown several probiotics to carry properties that might positively influence the immunological activity in celiac patients. The aim of the present study is to investigate how daily consumption of probiotics would affect levels of tissue transglutaminase autoantibodies (tTGA), markers of celiac disease autoimmunity in the periphery, as compared to placebo in children at genetic risk for celiac disease. Methods: Between 2012 and 2015, 90 children were recruited from two ongoing prospective celiac disease screening studies at the Skåne University Hospital, Sweden. Participants were randomized to either daily consumption of 2 lactobacilli strains or placebo for the duration of 6 months. Blood samples were drawn at 0, 3 and 6 months and analyzed for both IgA-tTGA and IgG-tTGA using radioligand binding assays.
