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.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating.

I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
