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'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.

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't.

      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.
