Gluten Ingestion Biomarkers in Patients w Gluten Sensitivity and Healthy Controls Peptides in Patients With Non-celiac Gluten Sensitivity and Healthy Patients: A Placebo-controlled Study

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity
Registration Number
NCT02936297
Lead Sponsor
Thomas Jefferson University
Brief Summary

Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is an emerging clinical entity defined as the presence of intestinal and/or extraintestinal symptoms induced by the ingestion or gluten and relieved by a gluten free diet (GFD) in patients without celiac disease or wheat allergy. The pathologic mechanism of the disorder is unknown, and there are no known biomarkers or associated histopathologic findings. In this prospective, randomized controlled trail, we are investigating the utility of patient reported symptom questionnaires, as well as stool gluten and urine quantification tools in patients with NCGS and healthy controls.
