    Drug May Lower Gluten Toxicity in Patients with Celiac Disease

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Celiac.com 04/18/2012 - Biopharmaceutical development company, BioLineRx, has announced results from pre-clinical trials which show that their compound, BL-7010, an orally available treatment for celiac disease, reduces the toxic effects of gluten in patients with celiac disease.

    Photo: CC - Jeremy BronsonThe findings, which appear in the February issue of Gastroenterology, show that BL-7010, which was previously labeled P(HEMA-co-SS, lowers gluten toxicity by  reducing the body's digestion of wheat gluten.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    The findings also show that BL-7010 also improves the immune response to gluten in rodents, as well as preventing gluten-induced pathological damage to the small intestine.

    Furthermore, they note that BL-7010 is not absorbed systemically, indicating that its gluten-neutralizing effects are likely safe. These data demonstrate BL-7010's therapeutic potential for reducing or blocking gluten-induced disorders in humans with celiac disease.

    Because it can be difficult to maintain a life-long, strict, gluten-free diet, the fact that BL-7010 may attenuate the immune response to gluten and reduce subsequent damage to the small intestine, suggests that this drug, or others like it may be useful in improving quality of life for millions of celiac disease patients.

    How do you get that BL 7010?

    In the article it is made clear that BL7010 might be developed into an interesting drug in the future but that the effect has been seen in pre-clinical trials. There are no evidence (the optimist would add "yet" to this sentence) that BL7010 has a good enough effect to be useful for celiac patients.

    Interesting, however, I don't know where to get this product. I would use this BL 7010 as I have very violent reactions to gluten.

    Can't wait for this, or similar products to help us live more normally! I'm tired of being the "pain-in-the-butt" person every time I go out to eat!

    Patients Diagnosed in Childhood Might Evolve toward Latency on a Normal Diet
    Celiac.com 05/23/2007 - The results of a study recently published in the journal Gut indicate that some people who suffer from celiac disease might not need to remain on a gluten free diet for their entire lives, and that some celiac patients might be able to safely introduce gluten containing foods without suffering a relapse.
    Previous Studies Showing Positive Response to Wheat Introduction in Patients with Celiac Disease are Promising, But Incomplete
    Several studies have shown that some patients diagnosed with celiac disease in childhood were able to remain on a gluten-containing diet after gluten challenge without suffering a relapse. However, most of these studies included a small number...

    Celiac.com 06/13/2012 - In general, doctors and researchers know a good deal about how celiac disease works, and they are finding out more all the time. However, they know very little about non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).
    In an effort to learn more about non-celiac gluten sensitivity, a team of researchers recently carried out a study to measure the presence of somatization, personality traits, anxiety, depression, and health-related quality of life in NCGS individuals, and to compare the results with celiac disease patients and healthy control subjects. They also compared the response to gluten challenge between patients with non-celiac gluten sensitivity and those with celiac disease.
    The research team included M. Brottveit, P.O. Vandvik, S. Wojniusz, A. Løvik, K.E. Lundin,...

    Blood Tests Different in Patients with Gluten Sensitivity Than in Those with Celiac Disease
    Celiac.com 12/03/2012 - Gluten sensitivity has recently been added to the spectrum of gluten-related disorders, but precise diagnostic markers do not yet exist. A research team recently set out to understand the blood test pattern of gluten sensitivity, and to compare it with the blood test pattern seen in celiac disease.
    The researchers included U. Volta, F. Tovoli, R. Cicola, C. Parisi, A. Fabbri, M. Piscaglia, E. Fiorini, G. Caio, of the Department of Clinical Medicine at University of Bologna's St. Orsola-Malpighi Hospital in Bologna, Italy.
    For their study, the researchers looked at blood samples from 78 patients with gluten-sensitivity and 80 patients with celiac disease. They assessed levels of immunoglobulin (Ig)G/IgA antigliadin antibodies (AGA), IgG deamidated gliadin peptide...

    Celiac.com 02/04/2013 - Ever wonder what happens to all those celiac disease patients who volunteer to do a gluten-challenge in the name of science? Well, the short answer is that they likely suffer, and may incur gut damage, at least in the short term.
    A team of researchers looking for ways to reduce or eliminate that problem recently conducted a study using larazotide acetate, a first-in-class oral peptide that prevents tight junction opening, and may reduce gluten uptake and associated problems.
    The research team included C. P. Kelly, P. H. R. Green, J. A. Murray, A. DiMarino, A. Colatrella, D. A. Leffler, T. Alexander, R. Arsenescu, F. Leon, J. G. Jiang, L. A. Arterburner, B. M.
