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.

      Basic metabolic panel results - more flags

      I have many of those same CMP irregularities from time to time, with the exception that my potassium is always normal. What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part....

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      Not sure what you mean by "soy being like gluten". Soy does not cause a celiac reaction. However, soy is one of the foods that many celiacs don't tolerate well for other reasons. Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one...

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang...

What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part. It depends on the particular parameter (some are more important than others) and it depends on how far out of range it is. Docs also look for trends over time as opposed to isolated snapshots of this or that being out of spec at any given time. Our body chemistry is a dynamic entity.

Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one of them or all of them. It just means it's common. You may not have a problem with soy at all. Celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten that creates inflammation in the small bowel lining that, over time, damages that lining.

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily.

I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/
