ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at how a low carbohydrate and low gluten diet might help people with acromegaly, a condition often caused by a growth hormone-producing tumor in the pituitary gland. The study aims to see if this type of diet can slow down the progression of acromegaly, improve symptoms, and enhance treatment outcomes.
To participate, individuals need to be diagnosed with acromegaly and should not have any dietary restrictions that would prevent them from following the study diet. The trial is currently recruiting participants aged 65 to 74, and they welcome people of all genders. If you join the study, you can expect to follow the special diet and have regular check-ups to monitor your health and any changes in your condition. This research could be important for finding new ways to manage acromegaly effectively.
