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.

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.

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

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this.

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
