That looks interesting. Of course, this far they haven't tried it in REAL stomachs with REAL patients, only in the lab under conditions that sort of mimic the stomach and duodenum. We'll see if it still works when they test it on people. It would be nice to have this enzyme when going out, just in case (but I'd still not purposely eat gluten).

Dr. Kholsa spoke about this project at the Canadian Celiac Association's National Conference last month in Toronto. While promising, it is in the early stages. Clinical trials are expected to start in late 2006 and continue through 2008. Availability of an approved product is another couple of years beyond that, assuming that the stuff actually works in people.

The goal is to deal with small amounts of gluten (less than 500 mg daily), not to allow celiacs to eat gluten at will. It would be enough, though, to pretty much take care of cross-contamination issues.

That would be great! Keeping gluten-free is easy--it's that CC that gets me :angry: I hope it sails through the trials, and is deemed effective. Thanks Claire and Peter for this good news :)

I agree.. The only thing that irks me anymore is the cross contamination. So that would be SOOO cool.

Imagine going out to dinner and just being able to pick the croutons off the salad, or just not eat the bread that's on the plate.

Imagine just being able to order the food without watching the server's eyes glaze over when you're trying to explain how important it is that the kitchen staff knows to use a clean pan for your food.

How cool would that be????

the only barrier would be getting this once it's out as a prescription....as sure as shooting the pharamaceutical plans will not want to pay for it....maybe at first when the initial price is so high. We should work from now to clear the pathway with these pharm plans to make sure that they are on board with it from the start. Would the demand that they pay for the prescription come from the individual states' legislatures?

If it works only in an acid environment like the human stomach, then the hundreds of us who are on acid-blockers either have to go off our acid-blockers or not take this....

Your acid mechanism may be whacky, but you must have stomach acid in order to digest your food.

This sounds like the kind of thing that should be sold next to the lact-aid and beano in the supermarket.

If it really works and it's really safe to use, I wouldn't care how much I had to pay for it. I agree that eating gluten free was a big deal at first, but not so much now, and that cc is the main issue of concern. To be able to eat out and travel to foreign lands again...gosh, it sounds almost like a dream.

The only problem with this is that it does not address the absorption of the gluten by the mucous membranes. By the time the gluten gets too the stomach it's too late anyway. It may show promise as far as relieving the GI components of celiac disease but the toxin would still be entering the bloodstream through the mucous membranes and effecting the brain and other organs.

It's an interesting study, and would certainly be helpful for traveling and staying at relatives houses. That cross contamination gets me every time.

I think acid blockers just block the excess acid, not all of it. I'm on them and still have problems with acid, although it is an improvement. I don't think they would be too much of a problem.

I'm curious about this remark the doc made in the article: "and a majority of celiac patients who adopt a restrictive diet still exhibit structural and functional gut abnormalities." Would this explain why many celiacs (such as my son) continue to have stomachaches despite a strict gluten-free diet?

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
