Summary

This trial aims to test a new way to manage celiac disease, potentially improving recovery and reducing the physical and psychological impact of the disease.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-75, recently diagnosed with celiac disease, who are willing to use gluten-detection technology and have had an initial dietitian visit at a participating center. They must not be pregnant or planning pregnancy during the study nor involved in another drug trial.
What is being tested?
The effectiveness of using gluten detection technologies alongside telemedicine for managing celiac disease is being tested. This randomized controlled trial aims to see if this approach helps patients recover better and cope with the condition's challenges.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve non-invasive monitoring and technology use rather than medication, typical drug side effects are not expected. However, there may be indirect effects related to lifestyle adjustments due to continuous monitoring.
