Virtual Reality Program to teach gluten free diet
EXPERIMENTALVirtual Reality Goggles and education regarding the gluten free diet will be provided. This group will receive VIRTUE, and watch a VR educational video, and play Chaos Café, which will be administered by a research team member. This group will be prescribed to take home the VIRTUE headset and play modules for 15 minutes per week until the 6-8 month follow up. The VIRTUE technology will track frequency of game playing to control for adherence to the prescription.
Interventions
To watch and participate in a virtual reality educational experience regarding the gluten free diet.
