Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

incidence, type and severity of adverse event
incidence, type and severity of adverse event
Gastro-intestinal tolerability: visual analog scale
Sum of visual analog scale for gastro-intestinal symptoms assessment (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, audible bowel sound, flatulence and abdominal cramping symptoms are assessed). Each scale is from 0 (no symptom) to 100mm (maximum symptom). The maximum sum value is 600.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Concentration of bacterial Serpin RNA and/or proteins (ng/mL) in duodenal aspirates
Measurements via RT-PRC and immuno-assay
Concentration of Probiotic BL NCC 2705 (ng/mL) in duodenal aspirates
Measurements via PCR
Concentration of gluten derived pepides in duodenal aspirates
Effect of BL NCC 2705 on gluten digestion based on the amount of gluten peptides detected in duodenal apsirates
Concentration of gluten derived pepides in urine
Effect of BL NCC 2705 on gluten digestion based on the amount of gluten peptides detected in urine
Level of elastase (Units/ mL) activity in duodenal aspirates
Measurements of proteolytic activity based assay

5. Study Description

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