Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is a genetic, autoimmune condition in which eating gluten (a protein found in wheat, rye and barley) causes damage to the small intestine. Researchers around the world are working to develop new treatments for celiac disease beyond the gluten-free diet. As a person affected by celiac disease, you can play an important role in advancing research by participating in a clinical trial. The biggest obstacle in getting a celiac drug to market is recruiting enough patients to participate in clinical studies.
