Way to go Dr Tye-Din! I would love to eat a good old cheeseburger again or a corned beef sandwich.

Per another source, the concept:

"Jason is working with Dr Robert P Anderson. His submission focussed on the development of a coeliac vaccine that would target the disease-causing T cells that are reacting to the toxic fragments of gluten, and make them gluten

what about people with gluten intolerance and not celiac?

I'm not sure a vaccine would help in that regard, but researchers are looking at different areas:

Transglutaminase inhibitors: To inhibit conversion of gluten to more toxic form

Oral proteases: To destroy toxic fragments in the gut or during baking process

Zonulin inhibitors: To reduce passage of gluten across gut lining

There is hope!

it seems like most of the issue is that the gluten crosses past the gut to the blood, im not sure if the GI issues are caused in the track or because gluten gets to the blood though

Personally, I am asymptomatic - I have no gut issues. I would eat gluten in a heartbeat if not for the worry about my auto-immune system. So the vaccine would be great for me although I don't think that would be the answer for everyone.

ya, honestly i wouldnt care if i still would get the stomach issues as long as i knew it wasnt harming me as much, of course i would love to get rid of the GI issues but anything is better at this point (i also think my natural medicine guy could help resolve some of the GI issues with allergy/sensitivity clearing, its a weird method but it works).

honestly now that i think about it if i had to choose one i probably would get rid of the GI issues so that accidental stuff doesnt hit me so hard

      Curious if I should quit my job

      Yes, IMO, you need to quit and look for another job. You can't put a price on your health. It's unfortunate that your parents don't understand but they don't have to live with the ravages of unattended celiac disease. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do and just be willing to live with the fact that some people will not understand. I don't know your age but that's being an adult and taking ownership of your life.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      Oh I definitely am doing that!  I'm having a "last hurrah" leading up to the endoscopy and I am making sure to eat as much gluten as I can now.  I will say I am BLOATED but I've been this way for so many years, it's kind of my norm.  Just a couple more weeks until I have answers though, I hope!

      Curious if I should quit my job

      By ohmichael · Posted

      Just got a new job working at a grocery chain, never worked grocery before. Mon (19th) and Thur (22nd) started feeling flu-like, realized I had probably been glutened at work but not sure how, didn't eat it! Found out I probably breathed in loads of it while handling bread and flour products stocking shelves on those 2 dates. I am in pain, but I don't have a back-up plan and I can't keep damaging my body. I tried to ask for a reasonable accom. but the manager says it would be an undue burden because i have to avoid two aisles. I am sad because i liked this job to start but now I'm really going through it. Today I didn't stock bakery or baking aisle and I was just starting to come out of it, now the symptoms are starting up again. I live w my parents and they don't understand or care to understand. I will be unemployed while I search for something new, but I am damaging my body in this current job and they can't switch me anywhere because I'm part time and a new hire. Should I trust my intuition and quit, and then apply for jobs outside of my home so my parents believe I am still going to work (until I finally find a job that doesn't handle gluten)?

      I am wondering if my symptoms are Celiac Disease related..

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s great that you’ve scheduled a doctor’s appointment to address your symptoms, especially given your family history of autoimmune diseases, including celiac disease. Your symptoms—such as stomach pain, chronic diarrhea, nausea after gluten consumption, joint pain, and headaches—do align with common signs of celiac disease, so it’s definitely worth discussing with your doctor. To help your doctor understand your concerns clearly, consider writing down a detailed list of your symptoms, including when they started, how often they occur, and any patterns you’ve noticed (like symptoms worsening after eating gluten). Mentioning your family history of autoimmune conditions will also be helpful, as celiac disease has a genetic component. You might also ask about getting tested for celiac disease, which typically involves blood tests and possibly an endoscopy. Avoid cutting gluten out of your diet before testing, as this can affect the accuracy of the results. Hopefully, your doctor can provide clarity and guide you toward the right next steps—hang in there, and good luck with your appointment!
