Has Anyone Heard Of The New Enzyme Being Developed?

My mom told me about it the other day, and said that a lab in Maryland had a successful trial with an enzyme that enables celiacs to have gluten and be ok. I googled it and got this:

If that ever happens, I will fly straight to New York City and eat out at Da Nico's. That would be sooooooooooooo awesome!!! Next, I would fly back and drive to Wooster, Ohio, where I would have a Coccia House Pizza. Then I would find somewhere that serves vegetable tempura. After that, I would go to the Olive Garden and have their eggplant parmesan. I'd find a Mexican place and scarf down some chili rellenos. I would also need to track down some spaghetti, a chimichanga, and the Floridian French toast at First Watch, then to Bob Evans for some blueberry pancakes followed by anything vegetarian at Cafe Tandoor in Westlake, Ohio. I would have to have several types of scones to celebrate my Irish heritage as well. This could go on forever theoretically, so I will stop now. Suffice it to say that eating out used to be my favorite activity in the whole world!

It appears that clinical trials are next. Who will pay for a clinical trial of a cheap food mold? This will include the cost of repeated EGDs. Clinical trials include a control group who will be taking a placebo and eating gluten - care to volunteer? I'm not feeling real positive about this will ever happening...

I agree, I have been interested in doing trials before, and It always came down to...what If i'm in the placebo group?

If it does come through, I would prolly use this sparingly. Prolly pop one if I'm eating out, or a If I want some thing with a small amount of gluten.

I probally would not have myself a big bowl of pasta.

there are a couple of things hoping to treat celiac disease in the works right now. besides the enzyme, there is the zonulin antagonist that dr. fasano is working on-----it is already in the second phase of human trials. i have read somewhere that a combo of the enzyme and the antagonist might work pretty well. our ped gi tells me that there are hopes of developing a celiac vaccine. of course, this wouldn't help my girls any since they already have it, but their kids might not have to worry about celiac.

I've heard of 2 such efforts (AT1001 & a Stanford effort) but I don't believe either will work. celiac disease is not like lactose intolerance where the symptoms are temporary and relatively minor compared to celiac disease.

I think it just doesn't work that way - it's not just a missing enzyme.

I've had far too many of the symptoms on these 2 pages to ever consider having gluten again. (Especially the 2nd list)

I don't think Zonulin is an enzyme ... I think they have a website to read how it works. It's not like lastase (Lactaid) - I believe it works on the cell level.

It's already in human trials.

the AT1001 is a zonulin antagonist. zonulin is the chemical in our bodies that controls the "gates" in the small intestine that let food proteins out where they don't belong. in celiacs these gates get stuck open. AT1001 controls the amount of zonulin so that the gates stay shut when a person eats gluten. this is by no means intended to be a cure, but it sure could make things easier for celiacs.

I looked on thier website and found some results of the testing. Seems real positive but time will tell.

our ped gi tells me that there are hopes of developing a celiac vaccine. of course, this wouldn't help my girls any since they already have it, but their kids might not have to worry about celiac.

I was just at the GIG conference and heard Dr. Fasano speak.

According to him, the vaccine would be for EVERYONE. Even if you already have Celiac, it would be for you.

Also, the time frame that he gave was

2-3 years for detoxified grains

5-8 years for Anti-Zonulin Pill

15-20 years for the Vaccine

He spent quite a while explaining how the pill would work. It is not like lactaid or whatever it is called. It blocks the production of Zonulin. Zonulin is what opens the doors in our intestines and allows the gluten in. Keep the doors locked and the gluten would not enter. (This is a very general explanation. The doctor spoke for an hour, this being the topic for about a third of it

AT-1001 actually CLOSES the leaky gut. I am *very* excited about it. It could be applied to the treatment of *all* autoimmune diseases.

I cannot wait. It actually fixes one of the root causes of the pathology of autoimmune disease, including Celiac.

It sounds very exciting and more info can be found at albatheraputics.com

This would be an absolute God send. We can gather as a big group and fly all over the world and eat like kings. :D

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
