Summary

This observational study will compare teens with celiac disease who follow a gluten-free diet strictly versus those who don't, along with healthy peers. Researchers will test walking while doing mental tasks, memory, attention, muscle strength, quality of life, and fatigue. The goal is to see if diet adherence improves brain-body coordination and daily functioning.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
gluten-free diet
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could show that strict adherence to a gluten-free diet improves cognitive and motor skills in teens with celiac disease.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all celiac patients.
