If anyone is willing to try this I'd love to hear about your experience.

...just came across this while looking for information on hydrolyzed wheat protein....thought it was interesting.

So if I'm understanding this article correctly...hydrolyzed is the same thing as fermented? Because haven't they already shown that long fermented sour dough bread doesn't cause symptoms? But they didn't know if it would still do damage?

Quote from the article:

"A total of 16 patients with celiac disease, ranging in age from 12 to 23 years were evaluated. They were in good health on a gluten-free diet for at least five years. Two of the six patients who ate natural flour baked goods discontinued the study because of symptoms such as malaise, abdominal pain and diarrhea. The two patients who ate extensively hydrolyzed flour baked goods had no clinical complaints, but developed subtotal atrophy (complete absence of villi, the fingerlike protrusions necessary for absorption). The five patients that ate the fully hydrolyzed baked goods had no clinical complaints."

Okay, I can't seem to figure out what the difference is between "extensively hydrolyzed" and "fully hydrolyzed" and it also doesn't say whether they did biospies and blood tests on the 5 that ate the "fully hydrolyzed". What does "no clinical complaints" mean? My fear is that the results would be like that of the two that ate "extensively hydrolized" and had no symptoms but did have "complete absence of villi". That does not sound good at all....

I also think this sample is pitifully small (I wonder what the statisitical significance is) but I guess it would be hard to find enough people willing to do it.

Thanks for posting this, Lisa, but I'm thinking I'll be waiting until further testing is done.

They also had been gluten-free for 5 years and only ate the stuff for 60 days. In fully healed celiacs it can take some time for reactions to appear, which is why it used to be thought that celiac could be outgrown. It used to be thought that gluten was safe as long as it was under 200ppm, that has now been lowered to 20ppm. What is also a bit confusing is that the AGA, which the article provides a link to, does still include HWP as something to avoid. This was a small study and although it was a short term study some of the folks did react. I do appretiate the posting of the article as I find any research interesting but personally I will continue to avoid this.

I have read a few different articles about this, but it definitely isn't something I would want to try eating myself. I have to avoid anything that has ingredients which have been autolyzed, hydrolyzed, lipolyzed, etcetera. I get incredibly sick from them. Very gluten-like reactions, so eating hydrolyzed wheat just seems like a doubly dangerous move to me.

I would be concerned that damage was being done elsewhere in the body, as it's known that gluten and gliadin can cause harm without any sign of gastric symptoms.

RiceGuy Collaborator

Thing is, if the gluten wasn't still there, then the texture wouldn't resemble a regular wheat product, no?

The doctors fermented wheat flour with sourdough lactobacilli and fungal proteases; this process decreases the concentration of gluten.
So it's less, but still there. That explains why there was still damage. Based on that damage, I don't see how they could make any claim about the stuff being safe for people with celiac disease.

Sounds like the researchers are a bit too hasty to claim any success whatsoever.

      Hi all! Ive been away for a while navigating this new illness and also studying at university. But im back with so more updates and info, thank you all for your help and support.    Update: I suffered with an infection of my dermatitis herpetiformis a month or so ago. This resulted in a trip to a&e with an extremely swollen face, and a 2 week dose of doxycycline. Of course the infection went down but my dermatitis herpetiformis still remains to pop up every now and again. However, I’m coming up to almost a year being gluten free and I can honestly say the outbreaks are less often and more mild. But I’ve been eating extremely strict on a gluten-free diet (not much eating out and very cross contamination aware), so fingers crossed this continues.  As I am UK based, I have finally got through to dermatology and rheumatology in the NHS (no more private appointments which is great!) She was amazing and agreed on what sounds like dermatitis herpetiformis. However, she has also diagnosed me with chronic urticaria (hives) which will explain the swelling of my face, eyes, lips, and even sometimes tongue! So might be an allergy on the case, or perhaps another autoimmune condition due to the undiagnosed coeliac until this year. A skin biopsy has now been arrange for next month which is positive (there’s talks of me eating gluten for a day to activate the rash also, scary but they will have medication on site!)  Currently, I’m feeling more positive about my diagnosis and am so thankful to my hospital for the ongoing support I wasn’t able to get from my GP.  Things are looking up!

      Hi there! This is something I’ve often wondered too! I’m still going through the process of getting an official dermatitis herpetiformis diagnosis, however I’ve been battling for 3 years and the dermatologists are pretty certain it’s dermatitis herpetiformis/celiac disease with it’s classic appearance and symptoms (it’s nasty stuff!) About 2 years ago before dermatitis herpetiformis was on the cards, I suffered with a terrible episode of seb dermatitis, it was absolutely everywhere and was probs left undiagnosed for months before I could get in with a dermatologist! I used ketaconazole and it seemed to do the trick. However, knowing what we do now, the dermatitis herpetiformis was definitely aggravating/causing this and I found that it was the use of too many steroid creams (they thought I had eczema) and heavy moisturisers bothering my dermatitis herpetiformis.  Since being gluten free for a year, I haven’t really suffered with an episode of the seb dermatitis for a while. Just trying to navigate the dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks now.  But definitely feel there could be a correlation!

      I have had very mild rosacea on my cheeks for years. I also am celiac abd have recently been diagnosed with rosacea in one eye. I have been prescribed eye drops during the day and a gel at night.

      Although diagnosed with celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis, I was curious about the celiac genetics and had that testing done on my own. Unfortunately, the lab does not explain the results and any doctor I have asked said I would need to see someone specializing in genetics. I was hoping someone out there might help me understand. Here is what came back and although I understand the HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8, I wasn't sure what the variants mean and why they repeat twice. Someone said it was a double marker meaning both of my parents gave me copies. I also read having this combination makes my celiac potentially much worse. HLA DQ2 - Positive | HLA DQ8 - Negative HLA Variants Detected: HLA DQA1*05 and again HLA DQA1*05 HLA DQB1*0201 and again HLA DQB1*0201

      Understanding that normal is <15, I started off with 250+, then using the same lab it took two years to get to 11, the last test was 3. So, it jumped back up for some reason which is why I suspected gluten in my diet somewhere. I do not do dairy, eggs, oats, or soy. I am vegan and gluten free, and take numerous supplements with the help of this forum.
