What is Coeliac Disease?
Coeliac disease is an immune condition where eating gluten damages the lining of the small intestine. The only current treatment is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet, and clinical research is exploring therapies that could protect the gut from gluten exposure.
Common signs and symptoms
- Bloating, wind or abdominal pain
- Diarrhoea or constipation
- Fatigue or low iron
- Symptoms after accidental gluten exposure
- Weight loss or poor nutrient absorption
- Skin rashes such as dermatitis herpetiformis
Could I be eligible?
You may be suitable for a current or future research study if you:
- Are 18 years or older
- Have been diagnosed with coeliac disease (biopsy or blood test)
- Follow, or are trying to follow, a gluten-free diet
- Still experience symptoms or are interested in new treatment research
- Can attend study visits in Randwick
