Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates why people with celiac disease and non-celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity develop rapid onset symptoms within hours of gluten exposure. Half of subjects will be given gluten and half will not.


Description:

When a person with celiac disease is exposed to gluten, their immune system attacks their bowel and causes abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea. This process takes 24-72 hours to occur. Some people without celiac disease develop similar symptoms when they eat gluten or wheat. Doctors and scientists do not know what causes this sensitivity to gluten. People with celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity report symptoms within hours of being exposed to gluten. This study evaluates why this occurs by looking at changes in blood, urine, stool, and the bowel after being given gluten.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Activation of the Mucosal Innate Immune System after Oral Gluten Challenge Small bowel biopsies will be assessed for markers of innate immune system activation: presence of granulocytes, granulocyte degranulation, products of degranulation, interleukins and cytokines involved in the innate immune system response, inflammatory mediators. 4 hours
Secondary Changes in Mucosal Permeability after Oral Gluten Challenge Mucosal permeability will be measure before and after oral gluten or placebo challenge with C13-mannitol lactulose urinary excretion testing. In addition, mucosal permeability will also be measured along the duodenum with a mucosal impedance probe. Baseline and up to eight hours after gluten or placebo exposure
Secondary Detection of Gluten Peptides in Urine and Stool Urine and stool samples will be assessed for the presence of gluten peptides. This will help assess how long these tests are positive after a known gluten exposure. Baseline and up to 72 hours after gluten or placebo exposure
Secondary Rapid Onset Symptom Development after Gluten Exposure Subjects will record the symptoms they experience after gluten or placebo exposure. The will complete a simple symptom diary every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours. Baseline and up to 72 hours after gluten or placebo exposure
