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.

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      I think you may be correct. The way the results are printed makes it appear as though it’s the ttg iga but I think you’re right—the 646 is total iga. So this would be indicative of another issue (another autoimmune condition, infection, cancer, etc.) and my doctor would need to do further testing. Thank you for saying this!

      Are you sure that is the TTG IgA? Based on the units (mg/dL) and having an upper limit to the normal range, it looks like a total IgA result.

      Vegetarians and vegans with celiac disease

      I am wondering if there are any vegetarians or vegans on this forum. I’ve been vegan for 15+ years and am just finding out I likely have celiac disease (blood panel done, need biopsy). My favorite foods—outside of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds—I will likely have to give up. Anyone else?

      Fiber Supplement

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their...

      Fiber Supplement

      I was taking Benefiber for my IBS-C before my celiac diagnosis. It does say Gluten Free but lists Wheat Dextrin on the label. I really dont like psyllium fiber, so is there anything else I can take or is the Benefiber really ok for someone with Celiac disease? Thanks!!!

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their level of sensitivity to minor amounts of gluten. That's the long and nuanced answer. The short answer is that it is a product derived from wheat and so you can be certain it will contain some residual amounts of gluten. No gluten removal process is 100% effective. So, to be absolutely certain, stay away from it. Have you tried chia seeds? Very high in fiber and quickly turns into a gel when added to water. Make sure you get seeds that are gluten free if you decide to try it.
