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.

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...

      The Happy Tart review

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Ibuprofen

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
