Has anyone heard anything much about this Australian study ? I read the abstract in the journal itself and it didn't mention any vaccine trials.

Last para. of the article reads as follows:

"The Australian team has begun an early-stage clinical trial using these peptides in a vaccine that aims to desensitize celiac patients and make them tolerant of the compounds. The group expects to report preliminary safety results later this year."

Glad you posted this -- very interesting.

My doc mentioned it at my appointment. Not sure how long it'll take to get to the US for trials. I'm sure it depends on how much success the Australians have.

I think it would be risky to make a vaccine for this. If your body is not meant to process gluten, then its not meant to process gluten. Why would you inject something into your body to stop your bodies natural reaction to what is pretty much seen as a poison to your body? I think that most if not everyone would benefit on a gluten free diet and that more effort should be put into making gluten free options more widespread and less spent on trying to stop celiac.

Just my thoughts :P

If they had a vaccine for hay fever, I'd take that too! My body isn't always the smartest. If I can help educate it or prevent it from damaging itself over something that's not ACTUALLY harmful, I'll totally take the vaccine.

Maybe I just really miss lasagna today.

AMEN exactly my thoughts!!! Dont even get me started. Im not even sure how it makes any sense for them to create a vaccine to help the body NOT react in its natural supremely intelligent manner... But believe u me, they WILL make one- there is just way too much money to be made on this!!! And thats what our medical system is all about- money... And then after they actually have a way to make money off of it- they'll actually start talking about it instead of IBS! Oh and they'll also add it to the mandatory schedule for babies.

I have to agree. We have a genetic reason as to why we are this way. If we get glutened, sure we can take things to help with the symptoms just like if we had a virus. I think confusing our immune systom into processing something that is, how should I put this.... Poison to our bodies could end up causing more damage. I know a lot of us (me included) did years worth of damage by eating gluten just because we didn't know. Until an actual cure is found, it is a disease plain and simple. I think that money could be used for finding cures for diseases that people die from more than celiac does, HIV/AIDS for example. For me, I will just stick with the diet until there is documented proof of a cure, and I really don't see that happening in my life time.

If they find a working vaccine I'll be first in line. I don't mind living without wheat, but constant vigilance against cross-contamination and hidden gluten is no fun at all. I'm vitamin D deficient even after 5 years gluten-free and I have to wonder how much damage there is from traces of gluten in my supposedly gluten-free food.

I agree that I'd rather see efforts going into illnesses that don't have a dietary cure, but market-driven healthcare doesn't work that way. It is an overall weakness in the entire US approach to medicine and biomedical research.

I agree. Besides who says flour/wheat is actually good for the body? No so much, maybe back in the old days when it was truly natural and organic, today they have "high" gluten, "super" gluten and everything is GMO. So in my mind the body might be right in this case, attack the evil gluten! Stuffs bad for people. ;)

Medicine counters "nature" all the time. Just because it's "natural" doesn't make it sacrosanct. If we can find a way to safely allow ingestion of gluten I'll be the first to sign up. Especially if it means never having to eat or drink the sorry gluten-free excuses (empty, high-glycemic grains) for bread and beer again.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
