    Specially Treated Wheat Inhibits T-Cell Response to Gluten Protein in Celiacs

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Celiac.com 10/12/2007 - The presence of gluten serves to activate HLA-DQ2/DQ8-restricted intestinal specific T-cells. Currently, the only treatment for celiac disease is a strict gluten-free diet. A team of Italian researchers recently conducted a study to determine whether a new enzyme strategy might offer promise in abolishing adverse gluten-associated activity.

    The team used mass spectrometry to analyze enzyme modifications of immuno-dominant a-gliadin peptide P56-58 and modeling studies to determine the extent of peptide binding to HLA-DQ2.The team treated wheat flour with microbial transglutaminase and lysine methylesther. They then extracted, digested and deaminated the gliadin.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    They used biopsy specimens from 12 adults with known celiac disease to generate gliadin-specific intestinal T-cell lines (iTCLs), which they then challenged in vitro with various antigen solutions.

    The results showed that tissue TG-mediated transamidation with lysine methylesther of P56-58, or gliadin in alkaline conditions inhibited the interferon expression in iTCLs.

    It is a great achievement. I hope the treatment starts soon .

    Since becoming a celiac I tracked it back to malarial drugs administered during a malaria infestation 10 years ago. Before that time I had no food allergies or sensitivities to almost any food, especially wheat-produced types. Regrettably since that time I can no longer stomach wheat so I just avoid it.

    I need all the information that I can get. I just found out I might have celiac disease. I have all the signs and symptoms.

    I'm glad someone is doing research, however, if celiac disease is as prevalent as the statistics show, wouldn't it just be easier to stop using wheat. Then those who want to use wheat could pay the high prices! Yes, I'm a little bitter, symptomatic since birth and didn't find out what the problem was until I was in my late 40's.

    Hopefully this and other research will produce products that our grandson, diagnosed at eight months, will use.

    Now 11, he follows a gluten-free diet religiously. but it isn't easy!

    Celiac.com 02/26/2010 - Data increasingly supports an association between rs6822844 at the IL2-IL21 region and multiple autoimmune diseases in individuals of European descent. A number of autoimmune diseases share susceptibility genes, pointing to similar molecular mechanisms.
    A team of researchers recently set out to assess evidence for a general susceptibility locus by looking for association between rs6822844 at the Il2-Il21 region and numerous autoimmune diseases.

    Celiac.com 09/12/2013 - There is evidence that certain types of gut trauma can trigger celiac disease, but almost nothing is know about whether traumatic brain injury might trigger a neurological form of celiac disease in some individuals.
    TG6 is a brain expressed form of transglutaminase that seems to be connected to neurological expressions of celiac disease. 
    Researchers Jonas F Ludvigsson and Marios Hadjivassiliou wanted to test the hypothesis that earlier brain injury due to head trauma may be more common in patients with celiac disease, potentially through trauma-induced TG6 leading to interaction with TG2.
    Ludvigsson and Hadjivassiliou are variously affiliated with the Department of Pediatrics at Örebro University Hospital in Örebro, Sweden, the Clinical Epidemiology Uni...

    Celiac.com 05/07/2014 - Current treatment for celiac disease is to eat only foods which are gluten-free. But, what about foods processed to remove gluten? Is it safe for people with celiac disease to eat foods that have been processed to remove gluten?
    Processing may render gluten-containing foods technically safe celiac patients, but so far live safety testing can only be performed on actual patients, not in laboratory computer models.
    A team of researchers recently set out to test the safety of germinated rye sourdough in a celiac disease model based on the adoptive transfer of prolamin-primed memory T cells into lymphopenic mice.

    Celiac.com 05/18/2015 - It is well known that fermenting wheat flour with sourdough lactobacilli and fungal proteases reduces the amount of gluten.

    The research team included Luigi Greco, Marco Gobbetti, Renata Auricchio, Raffaella Di Mase, Francesca Landolfo, Francesco Papro, Raffaella Di Cagno, Maria De Angelis, Carlo Giusseppi Rizzello, Angela Cassone, Gaetano Terrone, Laura Timpone, Martina D’Aniello, Maria Maglio, Riccardo Troncone, and Salvatore Auricchio.

      Not Sure What to Think

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac...

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE...

      Gluten challenge

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests. I have been gluten free for 3 years. Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten? I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions?? Thanks in advance.
