Subjects including healthy volunteers as well as patients with Celiac disease will be recruited and asked to swallow the OFDI capsule while being awake and unsedated. The capsule is attached to a tether which allows the operator to control as well as navigate the capsule as it progresses down the esophagus, through the stomach and into the duodenum using natural propulsive force called peristalsis. As the capsule progresses, multiple 2-dimensional cross sectional images of the duodenum are acquired. Images are analyzed at a later stage.
