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.

      There are eight essential B vitamins. They are all water soluble. Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys. Thiamine is Vitamin B 1. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily. The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is...

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.
