Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Study Design: A 3-weeks duration, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized study plan in ambulatory (non-hospitalized outpatients) patients, with 2 parallel groups. Treatment arms will be as follows:
A). Placebo 2 capsules 3 times daily (morning, evening and night).
B). Probiotics (Bifidobacterium infantis) 2 capsules 3 times per day (morning, evening and night).

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Men or women, 18-75 years old.
* BMI between 18.5 and 35.
* Patients shall have a positive CD-related serology (combined positivity of DGP/tTG Screen plus IgA anti-tTG and or IgA a-DGP tests).
* Patients will abstain from taking medications prohibited by the study from the 7 days prior the enrolment to the end of the trial: NSAIDs, aspirin, lactulose, probiotics and prebiotics in any form of administration (eg. Yogurts or other dairy products)..
* Alcohol consumption is prohibited during the same period.
* Patients should commit to attend on scheduled days, in accordance with the study calendar.
* To be interested in participating the trial
Exclusion Criteria
* Individuals with symptoms suggestive of lymphoma or any other serious CD complication taking special care in recently-diagnosed patients, 50 years old or older, in whom EATL must be ruled out by standard methods.
* Individuals with other active chronic GI pathologies like Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome, microscopic colitis, and lactose intolerance.
* Patients with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes or other autoimmune diseases, such as autoimmune hepatitis and primary biliary cirrhosis.
* Individuals with co-morbidities whose participation, in the investigator's judgment, would be inadvisable; for instance, unstable clinical conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, angina pectoris, severe cardio-respiratory conditions, etc.
* Individuals with symptomatic neurological or psychiatric conditions that could potentially interfere with the study.
* Individuals with a clinical severity requiring immediate treatment at the consideration of the investigator.
* Patients with hemoglobin levels less than 8.5 g/dL or who had donated blood in the last 56 days or donated a unit of plasma in the last 7 days.
* Patients with a history of alcohol or drug abuse in the prior 2 years.
* Individuals taking "prohibited" medications in relation to the study (see point 6, previous section).
* Individuals with a history of neoplasia.
* Individuals participating in another clinical study that either involves medications or concluded during the last 30 days.
* Individuals previously exposed to Bifidobacteria species.
* Subjects not willing to maintain a gluten-containing diet during the 3-weeks period of the trial
* Pregnant women.
* Allergies to goat milk; no recent or planned dietary changes, esp. regarding gluten intake.
