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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
