Summary

The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict 100% gluten free diet. Little is known about the best way to promote adherence to such a strict diet and how to maximize quality of life at the same time.

This pilot will look at the utility of a new innovation to promote gluten free diet adherence - a portable gluten sensor device. Participants will be 30 teenagers and adults with celiac disease recruited from the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University in New York City. Before and after the intervention, participants will be asked about their adherence to a gluten free diet, quality of life, symptoms, and feelings of anxiety, and depression. This pilot data will help to inform interventions that the investigators hope to test in a larger NIH-funded trial to better understand the best ways to promote adherence and quality of life in celiac patients.

Gluten Sensor Dose-Finding Intervention

Nima is a small portable sensor that detects gluten in a small amount of liquid and solid foods in about three minutes. Nima combines an electronic sensor with antibody-based detection in a disposable capsule. Nima displays a "smiley face" if the food or beverage is \< 20 ppm or a wheat icon for \> 20 ppm (low or high gluten). Each of the 30 participants will receive a Nima along with 3 months of disposable capsules. At the baseline visit, research staff will provide participants with the Nima and capsules and review instructions on how to properly use the device with all participants.
