Safety and Efficacy of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation
The gut microbiota is critical to health and functions with a level of complexity comparable to that of an organ system. Dysbiosis, or alterations of this gut microbiota ecology, have been implicated in a number of disease states. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), defined as infusion of feces from healthy donors to affected subjects, is a method to restore a balanced gut microbiota and has attracted great interest in recent years due to its efficacy and ease of use. FMT is now recommended as the most effective therapy for CDI not responding to standard therapies. Recent studies have suggested that dysbiosis is associated with...

Study of Latiglutenase in T1D/CD Patients
This is a phase 2, single-center prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study in Type 1 diabetes and celiac disease subjects attempting a GFD for at least one year prior to screening.

Study of the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Biomarker of DONQ52 in Celiac Disease Patients
This study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of an investigational drug called DONQ52 and consists of a single ascending dose part (Part A) and a multiple ascending dose part (Part B) in well-controlled celiac disease patients.

Supplementation With B. Infantis for Mitigation of Type 1 Diabetes Autoimmunity
Investigator initiated, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multi-centre primary intervention study to assess whether daily administration of B. infantis EVC001 from age 7 days to 6 weeks (+14 days) until age 12 months (+ 14 days) to children with elevated genetic risk for type 1 diabetes reduces the cumulative incidence of beta-cell autoantibodies in childhood.

T Cell Receptor (TCR) Sequencing and Transcriptional Profiling in Adult Celiac Disease Patients Undergoing Gluten Challenge
The primary objectives are: - Characterize the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire in duodenal biopsy samples of participants pre- and post-challenge. - Compare for each patient the TCR repertoire of duodenal biopsy samples with the peripheral blood TCR repertoire of each study participant - Characterize the transcriptome of duodenal biopsy samples and blood from study participants pre- and post-challenge The secondary objectives are: - Ex vivo identification and validation of DQ-restricted gliadin specific TCRs. - Characterize the gluten-challenge induced changes in small...

Teriflunomide vs. Placebo During Gluten Challenge in Celiac Disease
The investigators will see if the drug teriflunomide (which is in use in other immune disorder (multiple sclerosis)) can inhibit the immune activation in celiac disease patients during a 3 day gluten challenge. This will be measured in a blood sample.

The Effect of Gluten-free Diet on Parkinsonism
Recent data suggest that the brain-gut axis, chronic intestinal inflammation and microbiome may contribute to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases with alfa-synucleinopathy, which include Parkinson's disease (PD) and Multiple system atrophy (MSA). Environmental factors e.g. diets, microbiome, metabolites and immune mechanisms may play important role in pathogenesis of these diseases. In the human arm of this project, the investigators will address effects of an anti-inflammatory gluten-free diet (GFD) on motor and non-motor symptoms as well as its effects on immune and metabolomic characteristics in patients with PD and...

The Effects of Dietary Changes on Gut-bacteria and Fibromyalgia Symptoms
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of two diets - gluten-free and low-FODMAP diet- in relieving symptoms of fibromyalgia, and study whether these changes could be associated with changes in the gut microbiome (gut bacteria).

Urinary Gluten Immunogenic Peptides Detection in Non-celiac Gluten/Wheat Sensitivity
Non-celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity (NCGS/NCWS) is a syndrome characterized by both intestinal (irritable bowel syndrome [IBS]-like presentation) and extraintestinal symptoms (headache, migraine, "foggy mind", depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia, joint and muscle pain, leg or arm numbness, eczema or skin rash), which occur after the ingestion of gluten/wheat in subjects in which celiac disease (CD) and wheat allergy diagnosis has been previously excluded. NCGS/NCWS symptoms generally occur after the ingestion of gluten/wheat, disappear within a few days of a gluten-free diet (GFD) and quickly reappear when gluten/wheat is reintroduced....

Use of a Home Test for Gluten Detection in Urine and Its Effect on Gluten-free Diet Adherence
The use of a home rapid test for the detection of gluten immunogenic peptides (GIP) in urine of treated adolescent patients with celiac disease (CD) could facilitate the adherence to the gluten-free diet (GFD) and contribute to symptoms control and quality of life improvement. This single centre, randomized, unblinded, controlled study consists of 4 run-in weeks period followed by 8-weeks study period in which patients will be randomized to intervention group (home urine GIP testing) or the control group (no home urine GIP testing). The 12-week study will involve surveys, home stool and urine collection, home urine GIP test performance,...
