Detailed Description:
Objective: This exploratory study has been designed to determine the effect of the probiotic Bifidobacterium infantis vs. placebo orally administered over a period of 3 weeks on clinical features, Quality of Life parameters (QoL), intestinal permeability and inflammatory markers of patients having serological evidences of CD (positive serological markers). The testing period will be approximately three weeks between the results of serological testing and before the intestinal biopsy procedure during which time subjects are consuming a gluten-containing diet.
