Gluten Related Disorders in Barrett's Esophagus
In a small group of people gluten, a storage protein commonly in wheat and other grains, can cause gut inflammation and symptoms like diarrhea and abdominal pain. Gluten-related disorders include celiac disease (CD) and non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) and are treated by starting a gluten free diet (GFD). Patients with CD and NCGS also more commonly experience esophageal reflux and damage to the lining of the esophagus. A potential consequence of long-standing heartburn is Barrett's esophagus (BE), a major risk factor for cancer of the esophagus. This study aims to investigate the mechanism that leads to reflux and BE in those with...

Gynaecological Disorders in Not-celiac Wheat Sensitivity
In the last few years, a new clinical entity has emerged which includes patients who consider themselves to be suffering from problems caused by wheat and/or gluten ingestion, even though they do not have celiac disease (CD) or wheat allergy. This clinical condition has been named non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), although in a recent article, the investigators suggested the term "non-celiac wheat sensitivity" (NCWS), because it is not known to date what component of wheat actually causes the symptoms. The clinical picture of NCWS is characterized by combined gastrointestinal (bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea and/or constipation,...

Imaging the Duodenum Using an Optical Frequency Domain Imaging OFDI Capsule
The study is being done to assess the tolerability and feasibility of a tethered OFDI capsule to image the duodenum. A total of 24 subjects will be asked to swallow the tethered capsule, while they are awake and unsedated and ask for their feedback. Images will be taken using the OFDI system while the capsule travels from the esophagus into the stomach and into the duodenum.

Improved Diagnostics of Celiac Disease in Children
The main purpose of this study is to improve the diagnostics of celiac disease and reduce the need for invasive endoscopic studies in children. Further, the investigators aim to investigate the natural history and risk of complications in children with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity and to create a large scientific database.

Inflammatory Back Pain and Gluten Free Diet
Articular involvement is the most frequent extra-intestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). IBD-related spondyloarthropathy is mainly characterised by axial involvement (including inflammatory back pain, isolated sacroiliitis and ankylosing spondylitis) but may also be associated with peripheral symptoms (i.e peripheral arthritis, dactylitis and enthesopathy, such as Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and chest wall pain). In particular, inflammatory back pain (IBP) is characterised by an insidious onset, improves after exercise but not with rest, and is associated with morning stiffness. Up to now, several criteria...

Intestinal Fatty Acid-binding Protein (I-FABP) Levels in Pediatric Celiac Patients
A prospective, longitudinal study meant to compare blood levels of I-FABP in pediatric celiac patients during diagnosis to levels under gluten free diet, it's correlation with traditional serology testing and questionnaire regarding patient responsiveness to the gluten free diet, and in comparison to a control group.

Intraoperative Versus CT Guided Celiac Plexus Neurolysis in Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer
Many studies had stated that the coeliac plexus neurolysis (CPN) is a safe and effective treatment method of pain associated with pancreatic cancer. The neurolytic injectate is usually alcohol 50-100%; however, phenol >5% is also possible to use. Nowadays, there are several techniques to access the coeliac plexus (per cutaneous using fluoroscopy or computed tomographic imaging (CT), surgical and endoscopic ultrasound). However, the percutaneous computed tomography guided technique is the gold standard technique, it has multiple drawbacks as availability and cost of imaging modality, exposure to radiation and multiple complications.Surgical...

Malnutrition In Non-Celiac Wheat Sensitivity Patients
Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or 'wheat sensitivity' (NCWS) is included in the spectrum of gluten-related disorders. No data are available on the prevalence of low bone mass density (BMD) in NCWS. Our study aims to evaluate the prevalence of malnutrition in NCWS patients and search for correlations with other clinical characteristics. This prospective observation study will include 90 NCWS patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-like symptoms, 90 IBS and 90 celiac controls. Patients will be recruited at the Internal Medicine and at the Gastroenterology Units of the University of Palermo. Elimination diet and double-blind placebo...
