Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to confirm/prove safety of the probiotic and production of serpin in humans.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This trial is a multicenter, double blind, randomized, placebo controlled, 2 by 2 cross-over design (i.e. 2-sequences, 2-periods, 2-treatments) for each specific population (i.e. self-reported Non Coeliac Gluten Sensitivity and Coeliac Disease subjects).

1 capsule of BL NCC 2705 or placebo will be given twice a day in the morning and in the evening with a meal over 2 periods of 4 days.

On day four a single dose of gluten (3g) will be administered and duodenal fluid will be collected in the following hours through a naso-intestinal catheter. The viability of BL NCC 2705, the production of serpin and its effects on gluten digestion and intestinal enzymatic activity will be determined.

No chronic administration of gluten as a challenge is foreseen in the study.

After a wash out period of minimum 2 weeks, period will be repeated.
