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.

There is also a vaccine that is currently being tested - but its years away as well

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
