Has Anyone Heard Anything About A Pill For Celiac?

My son's Gastro mentioned this as we left his office on Thursday and I was so underwhelmed with all the other information and results we got that day that I didn't ask any many questions as I should have, but basically...

he said that there is a pill being tested that's probably 5 years away from FDA approval that would counteract the effects of gluten. It will be for adults only but he will have no problem prescribing it for my son if it meets HIS approval (Adam's dr is a little sarcastic and sometimes I don't know if he's joking or not) All I asked was "How long" and "Wow so he can drink beer in college?" which was totally not what I should have asked but it had been a long day at endo, radiology, bloodwork and gastro.

Any thoughts?

These? just available in Australia ..

... Capsules/pills containing multiple digestive enzymes with Proline specific Proteases to assist the breakdown of gluten and casein ...

This is the Food Sensitivity or Intolerance market that this product is aiming towards - not coeliacs ..

Food sensitivity or intolerance which is described as meaning a physical reaction to a food. It can refer to either

* the absence of specific chemicals or enzymes in the body needed to digest a food substance or:

* an adverse reaction to a food component.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
