Gluten-free diet for ankylosing spondylitis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how a gluten-free diet affects people with ankylosing spondylitis (a type of arthritis that mainly affects the spine). You would eat no gluten (found in wheat, barley, and rye) for a period of time to see if it helps reduce symptoms.
