Researchers are investigating a possible link between celiac disease and a condition called fatty liver disease in children. Some children with celiac disease develop extra fat in their liver even though they don't drink alcohol. This study will test children when they're first diagnosed with celiac disease and again after 6 months on a gluten-free diet to see how many develop fatty liver disease and whether the gluten-free diet helps.
Doctors have noticed that fatty liver disease seems more common in children with celiac disease than expected, but we don't fully understand why or how often it happens. This research aims to fill that gap so doctors can better screen for and manage this condition in children with celiac disease.

If you join, your child will have blood tests and possibly an ultrasound or other imaging to check their liver when they're first diagnosed with celiac disease—before starting a gluten-free diet. Then you'll return for the same tests about 6 months after starting the gluten-free diet. The study will compare these results to see whether the gluten-free diet affects liver health.
