    How Much Vitamin D Should Infants Get to Possibly Prevent Celiac Disease?

    How Much Vitamin D Should Infants Get to Possibly Prevent Celiac Disease? - The Endocrine Society 92nd Annual Meeting

    Celiac.com 06/24/2010 - I have previously suggested vitamin D deficiency and the makeup of gut bacteria during pregnancy and infancy, while breast-feeding and prior to and during the introduction of gluten, may be factors leading to the onset of celiac disease. The question of how much vitamin D should be given to infants remains open. The current recommendation, by the American Academy of Pediatrics, is that children of all ages should receive 400 IU of vitamin D each day. A recent limited study of 74 diabetic children, however, suggests that this recommended dose may still be insufficient for most children. The children were given daily vitamin D doses ranging from 400 IU to 2000 IU over a 12-month period and their vitamin D status was monitored. Most of the children remained vitamin D insufficient or deficient at the end of the study. The study concluded that all children younger than 5 years should probably receive at least 1000 IU of vitamin D daily. Further study is needed, especially with specific emphasis on the onset and prevention of celiac disease during infancy.

    Look for the report by Dr Carol Wagner & Dr Bruce Hollis.

    They ran a Class1 Randomised Control Trial where they supplemented pregnant women with 400IU, 4,000 IU and 6,400IU of Vitamin D3 per day.

     

    Pregnacy was easier, birth was easier, babies were bigger and healthier and there were fewer complications

    There is an alternative view on this. If you look at the epidemiological data and the biochemistry it seems that large doses of oral vitamin D in youth could be involved in inducing celiac disease in later life in some. I have written a journal article on this. Here is the citation:

    Celiac disease is known to be triggered, at least in part, by environmental factors. These factors can even affect one identical twin and not the other and seem to have their greatest impact during infancy when gluten is first introduced to the diet. Gut flora makeup and vitamin D levels are 2 factors which differ in infants and could affect the development of the immune system in ways leading to celiac disease. Recent research has shown that gut Bifidobacterium levels are lower in both treated and untreated celiac disease patients. Bifidobacterium species have properties which are beneficial to the immune system such as increasing IL-10 secretion and decreasing intestinal permeability. But other microbiota species may also have important effects and benefits to the developing immune system...

    Influence of HLA-DQ2 and DQ8 on Severity in Celiac Disease
    Celiac.com 03/14/2012 - A group of researchers recently studied the ways in which HLA-DQ2 and DQ8 might influence the severity of celiac disease. Specifically, the team wanted to study HLA-DQA1 and DQB1 profiles in adults with different forms of celiac disease, including adults with complicated and potential celiac disease, the most seriously affected, and those with the best preserved histologic end of the pathologic celiac spectrum.
    The researchers included F. Biagi, P.I. Bianchi, C. Vattiato, A. Marchese, L. Trotta, C. Badulli, A. De Silvestri, M. Martinetti, and G.R. Corazza. They are affiliated with the Coeliac Centre/First Department of Internal Medicine, Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo, University of Pavia, Italy.

    Celiac.com 12/12/2012 - In duodenal biopsy samples from people with active celiac disease, the transferrin receptor, CD71, is up-regulated, and promotes retro-transport of secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA)-gliadin complexes.
    To better understand how interactions between SIgA and CD71 promote transepithelial transport of gliadin peptides, a team of researchers set out to determine if interactions among secretory immunoglobulin A, CD71, and transglutaminase-2 affect permeability of intestinal epithelial cells to gliadin peptides.
    The research team included C. Lebreton, S. Ménard, J. Abed, I.C. Moura, R. Coppo, C. Dugave, R.C. Monteiro, A. Fricot, M.G. Traore, M. Griffin, C. Cellier, G. Malamut, N. Cerf-Bensussan, and M. Heyman. They are affiliated with the Mixed Research Unit 989 of ...

    Can Bifidobacterium infantis Natren Life Start Strain Help Active Celiac Disease?
    Celiac.com 03/13/2013 - To determine if the probiotic Bifidobacterium natren life start (NLS) strain might affect the treatment and clinical features of patients with untreated celiac disease, a team of researchers recently conducted an exploratory, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study on the effects of Bifidobacterium infantis natren life start super strain in active celiac disease.
    The research team included E. Smecuol, H.J. Hwang, E. Sugai, L. Corso, A.C. Cherñavsky, F.P. Bellavite, A. González, F. Vodánovich, M.L. Moreno, H. Vázquez, G. Lozano, S.Niveloni, R. Mazure, J.
