Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • prevalence of active CD

    5 years of age

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • prevalence of CD-related autoantibodies (IgA anti-transglutaminase)

    age 2, 3 and 5 years

Study Arms (2)

Gluten free diet

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

the intervention in this group is keeping a gluten-free diet from 0 to 12 months

Dietary Supplement: gluten-free, normocaloric diet from 6 to 12 months

Gluten containing diet

NO INTERVENTION

infants in this group are started on gluten-containing cereals at 6 months (control group)

Interventions

Gluten-containing cereals (wheat, rye and barley) will be replaced by gluten-free starchy food (rice, corn, tapioca-based, etc) in a normocaloric diet

Also known as: gluten-free products
