The study aims to demonstrate that active case finding is feasible, cost-effective, and well-accepted by the population, leading to increased diagnosis rates of coeliac disease in children and improved health outcomes through early intervention.
The study found that GIP was present in breast milk from 75% of non-CD mothers on a gluten-rich diet, indicating a significant transfer of gluten peptides through breast milk, which may impact infant immune system development.
The review indicated that rotavirus infection significantly increased the risk of coeliac disease, while rotavirus vaccination showed a protective effect against CD in some studies, although not all findings were statistically significant.
