Testing for gluten sensitivity using urine samples

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

This study focuses on non-celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity (NCGS/NCWS), a condition that causes various intestinal and extraintestinal symptoms after gluten ingestion in patients without celiac disease or wheat allergy. It utilizes a new urinary assay to detect gluten immunogenic peptides (GIP) in patients on a gluten-free diet, helping them identify accidental gluten consumption. The goal is to improve the management of NCGS/NCWS by providing patients with a tool to monitor their gluten intake and symptoms effectively.
