Since celiac disease/gluten intolerance is often present in those who are type one diabetic, and knowing that there are a number of other type one members here, I thought I would share this bit of great scientific news. It sounds promising! :)

That's really neat Mlee. Sure sounds like it might work out. I kind of wonder how safe the intestines are from autoimmune attack though. They may be under a misapprehension there.

"The location of the cells in the gut may also prevent the diabetes from destroying the new insulin-producing cells, since the gastrointestinal tract is partly protected from attack by the immune system."

Seems like I have heard of a few people who's immune systems do more than protect their gastrointestinal systems somewhere. :)

Hmmmm.. . .. . ...yeah... . ...immune system as protector......

Rather over-protective, at times....... <_<

It's great that they've found out about this? It may take time to develope it into a good treatment..but isn't it wonderful that there's a chance of using something other than shots of insulin for type 1? :D

Man, yes... . . .. but for me the really big thing would be the cessation of all the blood tests I must do per day..... :)

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Normal vitamin D range us from 20 ng/ml to 100 ng/ml.  200 nmol/L is the same as 80ng/ml. Minimum vitamin D is based soley on preventing Rickets and osteomyelitis.  Othe research is considered irrelevant insufficnet proof.   My 25(OH)D level is just over 80 ng/dl.  It took 8 years of 10,000 IU a day to get here because Celiac Disease causes low D.  In 1952 the UK banned all vitamin D supplementation due to a error.  Most of the world followed suit.  In the western world vitamin D deficiency ranges from 40% of the US to 60% in the UK. If you had an office with workspace for 30 to 100 workers, but you were restricted to less than 50 workers, how well would the office run.? A factory worker has 40 ng/ml,  A lifeguard has around 80.  Who's immune system works better? Simultaneously, 1,25(OH)2D3 up- and downregulates more than 1000 genes responsible for cellular proliferation, differentiation, a variety of cellular metabolic activities, antiangiogenesis and apoptosis   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9919777/

      Welcome to the forum, @Mpanknin! Questions like that really have no definite answer. Even if you tested a container of it for gluten content, the test results would only be good for that production batch. Assume it has some degree of CC. A more important question might be, how sensitive are you to minor amounts of gluten exposure?

      blood pressure meds that are gluten free

      By Yvonne Ayers Albers · Posted

      I have Celiac, and I just found out that HCTZ has gluten in it, and also makes you severely constipated versus diarrrhea!!  I need another medicene for blood pressure that is certified gluten free, without the 20 ppm, and doesn't cause constipation, please!!

      Thanks Wheatwacked. My D is normal. I take B12, B6, and a bone health supplement (I'm 67) that has K1, Calcium, Magnesium, and a bunch of other things. But no thiamine. But I will have my doc add it to my next blood draw. Thanks for the info WW!

      Wondering if this is gluten free or not. The only ingredients show garlic. Nothing about where it's processed if there's cross-contamination etc. Anybody know?
