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 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.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      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.
