I don't think I would take it, but that would be great for people like my dad who refuse to acknowledge they have it, because they wouldn't be able to eat there favorite crap or drink their beer.

This Zonullin sounds good for celiacs to take as a precaution ..for those who eat out or at relatives houses....eat gluten-free, but in case they ingest gluten unknowingly...like at a wedding or event....not for purposefuly eating of gluten. It would appear to be a good back up plan and my husband is looking forward to this being available. It would provide peace of mind when you're found in a bad gluten circumstance.

This is my thought too. It be nice to let my son eat a supposedly gluten-free meal at a restaurant with out worries.

I agree with Deb and Vincent--it would be great to eat out again once in a while.

I hope it's something we can just take occasionally if we choose to, not something we have to take every day to build it up in our bodies. I don't know if I'd do that. At least not until a few years have passed and the FDA doesn't pull it off the shelves because of side effects like they have with so many medications in recent years.

And eating out... Could you imagine just being able to take the croutons off the salad?

Nancy:

The drug is meant to be taken before a gluten meal (kind of like a lactaid). I don't believe it "builds up" long term in our bodies. So yes, I believe you could just take it when you wanted to.

It stops gluten from crossing a barrier that it shouldn't (by closing the barrier), thus, preventing the autoimmune response from occurring.

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
