What is the Treatment for Celiac Disease?
Celiac.com 06/26/2020 - The only treatment for celiac disease is a gluten-free diet.
No Cure for Celiac Disease
No prescription drug or home remedy can cure celiac disease. There is no operation or medical procedure that can cure celiac disease.
Gluten-Free Diet Key to Celiac Wellness
However, people with celiac disease can live happy, healthy, normal lives by eliminating wheat rye and/or barley, and following a dedicated gluten-free diet.
Avoid Unsafe Non-Gluten-Free Foods
This means avoiding all products derived from wheat, rye, barley, oats, and a few other lesser-known grains. These foods and ingredients are unsafe and not-gluten-free. Here's our Unsafe Gluten-Free Food List (Unsafe Ingredients).

Celiac Disease Treatment and Continuing Symptoms
Celiac.com 04/07/2021 - It is not uncommon for people with celiac disease to have ongoing digestive symptoms and other systemic problems, even on a gluten free diet. Even though celiac disease is becoming better understood each year, much remains to be learned about the effects of the disease on the body and its ongoing symptoms.
Not everyone with celiac disease who goes on a gluten-free diet will recover, according to the following study:
"After an average of 11 months on a gluten-free diet, 81% of patients with celiac disease and positive tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) at baseline will revert to negative tTG-IgA (SOR: C, disease-oriented evidence from retrospective cohort study). The intestinal mucosa of adult patients with celiac disease will return to normal a...

The Appeal of Vaccine Treatments for Celiac Disease
Celiac.com 12/21/2020 - Recent leaps in understanding the development of celiac disease have led efforts toward a new, non-dietary, vaccine therapy.
A lifelong gluten-free diet remains the only treatment for celiac disease, but research shows that even the most diligent gluten-free dieters are likely to be exposed to gluten on a regular basis. This is part of the appeal of safe, effective non-dietary treatments for celiac disease. And adjunctive and/or vaccine therapy is one of those approaches.
New therapies might focus on immune regulation by IL-10, as in vitro models of treated celiac patients show that external IL-10 can overwhelm the gliadin driven IFN-γ response in intestinal biopsies. But, even though people with active celiac disease show high levels of anti-infl...

Are Celiac Disease Drug Treatments Just a Pipe Dream?
Celiac.com 09/21/2022 - The dream of creating a safe, effective drug that can help people with celiac disease to tolerate small amounts, or perhaps even large amounts, of gluten. Until its recent failure, 9 Meters' larazotide was the only celiac drug in Phase 3 clinical trials. The recent discontinuation of larazotide, based on disappointing interim results, highlights the unmet need for effective alternatives to a gluten-free diet for treating celiac disease.
Larazotide's failure also opens the doors for current and future Phase 1 and Phase 2 celiac therapies to be first-to-market. It also highlights the lack of a good lineup of potential new drugs. The reality is that, with the collapse of several once promising candidates, the bench for viable alternative celiac disease treatments ...

  Hi all, Such valuable insights shared here - I am so grateful to be able to read along! Thank you all for sharing your wisdom. I (37yo female) have recently had an endoscopy to screen for celiac given a strong family history and extremely low Ferritin for the past 7 years (not responsive to oral supplements). I am awaiting celiac blood panel results...

  @TerryinCO, Are you taking a B Complex in addition to your B12? B 12 needs the other B vitamins to function correctly. Celiac disease and the damage to the intestines makes absorbing vitamins and minerals difficult. Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing while you're healing. Are you on any medication for your Gerd? Here...

  Bless your heart! That does make for a bumpy journey! The Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus really works well for pain relief. I was surprised at how well it works. I can't recommend it enough. I can't tolerate aspirin nor nsaids. Are you getting enough Omega Threes in your diet? Healthy fats like olive oil help keep our discs and joints healthy and...

  Thank you! I will have to look into that. I have Anklosing Spondylitis, bulging and dehydrated discs so pain is a big part of my life.
