Brief Summary

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

This study will assess the development of gastrointestinal health in terms of digestive tolerability and immune-inflammatory response at the intestinal level comparing a conventional gluten-free cereal with a new cereal with prebiotics, probiotics and a very moderate amount of gluten. These are products adapted to infant feeding since 4 Months.

Detailed Description

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

In 2008 the ESPGHAN recommended not to give gluten cereals before 4 months but not after 7 months. Although the introduction of gluten in this window was linked to a posible preventive effect on celiac disease, the truth is that it has not been demonstrated. In any case, high exposures to gluten since the 4 months have been associated with a higher incidence of celiac disease and current recommendations propose moderate and progressive exposure to gluten between 4 and 6 months old.
