Vaccine? I wonder how they can vaccinate against a genetic condition. Are you sure this isn't just a drug treatment rather than a vaccine. Do you have any links to this information.

I'm really curious about this. Do you have any more info?

I've looked into it and it's an Australian company who is making the vaccine. The first step of the trial started in April with 40 volunteers. This trial will last a total of 11 months and attempt to determine if the vaccine does any harm.

The second trial for this new vaccine will attempt to determine whether or not the vaccine is effective by feeding gluten to the volunteers and then they will undergo a thorough examination.

Their theory is since Celiac disease is the result of an immune response to gluten. The therapy involves repeatedly injecting solutions of gluten at increasing concentrations. The aim is to desensitize the subjects slowly, in a similar way to hay fever and dust allergy desensitization treatments.

I guess only time will tell.

Gee Wiz, where do I sign up. :o

While I am glad that research continues, I don't think "desensitizing" someone to gluten is the "cure". I wouldn't hold your breath on this one.

Celiac Disease is not an allergy and you can't treat it as such. Injecting gluten into the blood stream will not have the effect that gluten has on the digestive system.

Before we (I) speculate too much, it would be good to have a link to this study, as suggested.

I have to agree with you, I'm not holding my breath! It sound like something they did in the 70's early 80's. I was diagnosed when I was around 9 months old and when I was around 8 the Dr did a biopsy and said that the diet was working and that I should start adding gluten to my diet. 2 years later the Dr said I was in remission! and well they were wrong then! I don't think they'll ever find a way for celiacs to have a "normal" life. I have to say I have 3 children and I life a normal life!

I think that it's great that Celiac is making the news now and hopefully less people will suffer needlessly but when the media or someone who has celiac is discussing it they should be knowledgeable and not give the wrong information. IE. Elisabeth Hassleback!

Not sure if I'm celiac or not yet, though this sounds like great news.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
