Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The GF-NOURISH program aims to improve the health of children diagnosed with celiac disease by providing nutritional education focused on naturally gluten-free foods while reducing the intake of ultra-processed gluten-free products. The study hypothesizes that this intervention will lead to better health outcomes by minimizing the risks associated with high arsenic levels found in rice-based gluten-free foods. Participants will receive guidance on dietary choices that promote overall well-being and nutritional adequacy. The program is designed for children aged 2-18 who have recently been diagnosed with celiac disease.
