  1. Celiac.com 02/20/2023 - Celiac disease is a condition that is caused by the immune system's response to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barely. In celiac patients, an immune response triggers a pro-inflammatory environment in the small intestine, causing damage to the tissue. A major role in the pathogenesis of celiac disease is played by the HLA-restricted gliadin-specific intestinal T-cell response generated in a pro-inflammatory environment. A recent review article highlights the growing body of research that supports the central role of inflammation in the development of celiac disease, and how it is influenced by factors such as sensitivity to gluten and other pro-inflammatory agents. The review is authored by researchers Maria Vittoria Barone, Renata Auricchio, Merlin Nanayakkara, Luigi Greco, Riccardo Troncone, and Salvatore Auricchio. The are variously affiliated with the Department of Translational Medical Science, University Federico II in Naples, Italy; and the European Laboratory for the Investigation of Food Induced Disease (ELFID), University Federico II in Naples, Italy. Live studies on a population at risk have explored the mechanisms behind this inflammation. These studies show cellular and metabolic alterations in the absence of a T cell-mediated response, before the onset of the disease and before the introduction of gluten in the diet. Gluten exacerbates these constitutive alterations, both live and in the lab. The role of inflammation in celiac disease has led researchers to consider it as a chronic inflammatory disease, similar to other autoimmune disorders. The review also explores the crucial role played by the intestine in controlling inflammation both locally and systemically, and the impact of nutrients and gut bacteria on inflammation. Reduction of Early Inflammation Could Delay Onset of Celiac Disease Celiac disease is characterized by inflammation, which plays a critical role in the onset of the disease. It begins with a pre-clinical phase where the body is set up for inflammation, making it susceptible to various pro-inflammatory agents, including gluten. Historically, research has focused on the T-cell response in celiac disease, but there is growing recognition of the importance of the pre-inflammatory state. Modulating this state with a Mediterranean-type diet or preventing intestinal viral infections could have a significant impact on the onset of celiac disease, and could be easier to manage than the more complex autoimmune response. The implications of this research extend to additional chronic inflammatory diseases including inflammatory bowel diseases and diabetes, where early intervention with the state of inflammation in at-risk subjects could have a lasting impact on their health.

  2. Celiac.com 07/31/2021 - Although my theory on the ultimate, underlying cause if idiopathic epilepsy (viruses) is only a theory (backed by mounds of data), the response of epileptic dogs (and people) to the elimination diet I propose is far from theoretical. It has halted seizures in even the most refractory of cases time and time again. It has stopped seizures overnight in dogs that were about to be euthanatized by board-certified veterinarians for “non-responsive” epilepsy. It has eliminated seizures in people with a lifetime of seizures, ranging from children to adults in their 40’s and 50’s, including those with head trauma-induced epilepsy.   The response of theses individuals, in addition to the fact that there are more than 24 known viral causes of seizures, has led to my “theory” of chronic latent viruses being the ultimate reasons why one individual has epilepsy and the one next to them does not. This is no more far-fetched than what we know about cancer...viral information embedded in our very genome that is “unleashed” once the circumstances are correct. (Once we have done enough wrong to ourselves and our pets, actually.) I guess we could use the term “epileptogens” rather than carcinogens when discussing the things that cause epilepsy to begin between 6 months and 6 years of age, 2-14 years, and then again, after age 65 in people). Why the delay? Doesn’t that pattern in people smack of the same things that cause leukemia?   My ultimate “cause” of epilepsy theory is driven by viral agents but the dietary management of these patients is a 6.5 year fact, supported by similar, published, and well-publicized work in human medical research into the ketogenic and now the “modified Atkins” diets. They are coming close to the real answer, which is my diet, but they are woefully deficient in what they are eliminating. The step from ketosis (for which NO healthy individual should ever volunteer) to a non-ketotic diet found in the “modified Atkin’s” is a step in the right direction. Are you familiar with these dietary developments in human medicine, studied extensively at John’s Hopkins and The Mayo Clinic? I’m sure you must be.   What is it that they are eliminating that is making a difference in 30-50% of individuals to which they apply it? Why not 60, 70 or 90%. Why not 100% like we are experiencing. Yes 100% of patients with idiopathic epilepsy that I have been involved with have had a notable response, the majority of which stopped seizing completely. 100%. That is a stiff claim, isn’t it? It’s true, though. And it is the wellspring of the passion I have for this topic and why I spend my time writing on forums instead of playing golf.   Why not speak at ACVIM meetings? Why not write in peer-reviewed journals? First, I am a solitary practitioner. Other than my internship at Angell Memorial, I have no clout. And believe me when I say that I tried to reach people in high places. Academia is an ivory tower that is difficult to approach, especially in human medicine. Thank God (literally) there are alternatives to simply trying to change the mind of the two professions before any help can be rendered to the masses. Thank God (again, literally) that the afflicted can now be their own best advocates and find answers on their own. Thank God for the Internet.   The time has come for medicine to change. Our blind approach of masking symptoms with drugs has come to an end. Seizures serve a purpose just like every other symptom that occurs in our body and until we see that, we will never be better at curing disease that we are now, and our success is dismal at this point. Our limited understanding of nutrition is appalling. How any educated person can say that diet has nothing to do with epilepsy (or any other medical condition for that matter) is beyond me but that has been the response of almost every board certified vet or practitioner that has been presented with this idea by an interested client...just before their seizures were stopped by changes to the diet.   The “startling” fact is that nutrition has everything to do with our body running on the nutrients it acquires from food. We don’t get proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals from air, do we? Cellular metabolism and enzyme systems don’t run on oxygen alone, do they? So how could a board-certified doctor, human or veterinary, say that “nutrition has nothing to do with seizures”??? Do you sense my frustration? I have spent the past 7 years trying to get this word out to colleagues and doctors alike. My head is bloody from hitting it so hard against that wall.   But the progress I have made in the private sector has been astounding. Now my time has come to share it with the professionals. If I waited to hear from my or the human medical profession, I would have died waiting. Google “DogtorJ” and you’ll see where I’ve been (other than car forums). I spoke at two AHVMA conferences. I recently spoke at an international conference of MDs. And I will be speaking at the upcoming NAVC conference in Orlando in January. Dr. Jean Dodds and I are in total agreement on this approach and correspond very regularly. I have doctors at both Johns Hopkins and Mayo interested in this work, and the director of integrative medicine at Mayo is trying to get an NIH grant to study it.   Maybe this approach has been backwards when viewed from inside the ivory tower, but this is becoming the mode these days. Most of us are aware of the public’s rising level of dissatisfaction with medical care. If medicine was a government a revolution would be in the offing. The doctor jokes are exceeding the lawyer jokes now. My clients regularly volunteer to me how much they “hate” the medical profession. I didn’t think I would see that day.   Why are they so vehement about their disdain for “us”? Simply put, they are waking up. They see the absurdity of taking fever-reducers for a fever ‘caused by a virus or bacteria because they intuitively know that the fever serves a vital purpose in our healing. Similarly, they don’t see the logic in treating cancer with more carcinogens. They don’t understand why you would treat a condition like MS or lupus that results in individuals with weakened immune systems with immunosuppressive drugs. The scary thing is that these treatments eem to make sense to those who prescribe those “remedies”, just as they did to me for 21 years. Now that’s a scary and humbling thought.  It’s time for us all to wake up. And, it’s time for us to put aside our pompous attitudes, imagining that we know so much when we really understand so little. Hey, “idiopathic” is our favorite word. How can we be so smug when we know that this is true? Even worse, how can we let a word like that shut off our brains when there is a finite number of causes for any disease we care to discuss. We hold up that word like a banner while casting aside ideas that actually work.   I do understand how the system works. Again, thank God there are alternatives to that system. Otherwise, conventional (internal) medicine would lead us all into our graves. Granted, they often squeeze another 15 years out of a human life using drugs, controlling heart disease and the like. But they have done nothing to halt the incidence of heart disease, immune-mediated diseases, and cancer. It has simply been a race to determine this year’s number one killer. It is time to actually prevent and even CURE these conditions. Our disbelief that this can be done only illustrates how far we have strayed from the proper path of the healing arts.

  4. Celiac.com 11/23/2020 - Since March 2020, when the World Health Organization declared coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) a global pandemic, researchers and laypeople have been wondering if people with certain health conditions, such as celiac disease, might face a higher risk for contracting Covid-19. Celiac disease is a chronic immune-mediated gastrointestinal condition triggered by gluten, which numerous studies have shown to be associated with an elevated risk of respiratory infection. A team of researchers recently set out to determine whether celiac disease patients have a higher risk of contracting COVID-19. The research team included Jamie Zhen, Juan Pablo Stefanolo, Maria de la Paz Temprano, Sebastian Tedesco, Caroline Seiler, Alberto Fernandez Caminero, Enrique de-Madaria, Miguel Montoro Huguet, Santiago Vivas, Sonia Isabel Niveloni, Premysl Bercik, Edgardo Smecuol, Luis Uscanga, Elena Trucco, Virginia Lopez, Carolina Olano, Pasquale Mansueto, Antonio Carroccio, Peter H. R. Green, Andrew Day, Jason Tye-Din, Julio Cesar Bai, Carolina Ciacci, Elena Verdu, Benjamin Lebwohl, and Maria Ines Pinto-Sanchez. At this writing, the world has seen over 34 million cases of COVID-19, and more than 1 million deaths worldwide. The United States has seen over 11 million cases of Covid-19, and 250,000 deaths, with rising numbers and no end in sight. The research team carried out a cross-sectional study to determine whether patients with self-reported celiac disease have an increased risk of contracting COVID-19. Between March and June 2020, the team used local celiac disease associations, electronic newsletters, and social media to recruit patients of all ages with a self-reported celiac disease, and non-celiacs, from different countries including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, Uruguay, and the United States. For the study, the volunteers answered forty-one questions in a web-based survey that was available in English, Spanish and Italian using the approach proposed by Mallinckrodt and Wang. The researchers used RedCap to gather data on demographics, gluten-free diet (GFD), symptomatology, and COVID-19 testing. They used SPSS version 25 (IBM, Armonk, NY) for statistical analyses, and then compared continuous and categorical variables using the Mann-Whitney U test and chi-square test. They also performed logistic regression to gauge the influence of various factors on the likelihood of reporting a positive COVID-19 test. Independent variables included celiac disease diagnosis, age, gender, comorbidities, gluten-free diet adherence, extra precautions, and previous COVID-19 exposure. The unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios showed 95% confidence intervals. People with celiac disease tend to have more comorbidities including respiratory, cardiac, and diabetes, compared with control subjects. Patients with celiac disease were significantly less likely to have been tested for, and to have been exposed to, COVID-19, compared with control subjects. Just under 9% of of 940 participants tested for positive for COVID-19. Overall, celiac patients do not face any higher risk of contracting Covid-19 than control subjects. This analysis should provide some assurance to people with celiac disease and to clinicians that patients with celiac disease have about the same likelihood of contracting Covid-19 as the general population. However, this study did not look at whether people who have celiac disease have worse outcomes than those who do have it, and unfortunately there is some evidence that indicates that this may be the case. With Covid-19 cases higher than ever and rising, we encourage everyone to take precautions and be safe.

  5. Celiac.com 02/18/2019 - Many researchers have suspected that childhood infections with certain viruses may open the door for the development of celiac disease. Celiac.com has covered the connection in previous articles, such as Can Viruses Trigger Celiac Disease? and Is a Reovirus Infection a Prime Cause of Celiac Disease? Now there is even more evidence to support such a connection. A team of Norwegian researchers recently set out to learn whether early exposure to common intestinal viruses, specifically human enterovirus or adenovirus, are factors in the later development of celiac disease. The research team included Christian R Kahrs, Katerina Chuda, German Tapia, Lars C Stene, Karl Mårild, Trond Rasmussen, Kjersti S Rønningen, Knut E A Lundin, Lenka Kramna, Ondrej Cinek, professor, and Ketil Størdal. Study Methods For their case-controlled study, nested within Norwegian birth cohort, the team reviewed data for patients recruited between 2001 and 2007, which were followed through September 2016. The team specifically looked at data for children carrying the HLA genotype DR4-DQ8/DR3-DQ2, which increases risk of celiac disease. The team detected enterovirus and adenovirus in real time using polymerase chain reaction in monthly stool samples from age 3 to 36 months. Celiac disease diagnoses were made using standard criteria. The team looked for celiac disease antibodies in blood samples taken at age 3, 6, 9, and 12 months and then annually. To determine the connection between viral infections before appearance of celiac disease antibodies and celiac disease, the team calculated adjusted odds ratios using a mixed effects logistic regression model. Study Findings This study showed that exposure to Enterovirus A and Enterovirus B during early childhood is associated with later celiac disease. Interestingly, the connection was only for infections after introduction of gluten into the infant diet. They found no connection between adenovirus and later celiac development. This study strengthens the idea that early childhood exposure to a viral infection likely plays a role in the development of celiac disease.

  7. Celiac.com 05/31/2019 (originally published 10/08/2010) - Hello. My name is Gerald Cooper. My wife was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia at the age of three. She’s 38 now and we are seeking the cure for this disease. I get on website after website and find cures for cancers and just about everything else. I am so thankful that people are getting cured from their problems, for I hate all diseases. I just get frustrated now and then because I have not found ANYONE saying that they have the cure for sickle cell anemia. I am seeking to find right now and we are desperate. We are desperate. My wife had a hip replacement due to the sickle cell anemia causing a vascular necrosis. She was also scheduled to have both shoulders replaced and her other hip. The doctors are also saying that the sickle cell anemia is eating at her spine as well. We need help now. We need help right now. WE NEED HELP RIGHT NOW. PLEASE **************************************** Hi Mr. Cooper, I am so sorry that you wife is having this problem and that more help has not been afforded her. You are experiencing the frustration that many, including myself, have experienced when it comes to getting REAL answers to their medical woes. I hope that I can be of some help in getting you and your wife headed in the right direction. As I state in my welcome message, I am NOT an MD (“just a veterinarian”) BUT I can point you to some of the right rocks to look under. When it comes to sickle cell disease, the texts imply that they really don’t understand the syndrome very well. And, I guess that statement is true if they are stating that. However, there are some very critical observations to be made that I believe shed abundant light on the disease process. First of all, the sickle cell gene is/was ESSENTIAL to have in those living in Africa and along the Mediterranean where malaria is an issue. Without the sickle cell gene, people would die from malaria. If the sickle cell gene was present, when the malaria organism infected a blood cell, the cell would form a sickle cell, which would not support the malaria organism, thus protecting the individual from the disease. Again, it was ESSENTIAL that this gene be present to PROTECT that individual. SO, what happened??? What in the world would turn an essential trait into a lethal one? You need look no further than the diets of those individuals and the catastrophic change that took place when they came to America and started eating the standard American diet. In Africa, they ate NO gluten grains, consumed NO cow milk products, NO soy and NO corn...the four damaging foods that I write so much about. These “Big 4” (or the “four horsemen of the apocalypse” as I now call them) are doing so much harm to susceptible individuals. And who are they doing the most harm to? Those who have had the least amount of time to adapt to those foods, namely Black Americans, American Indians, Hispanic Americans and Asian Americans. This should be no surprise whatsoever when viewed through the eyes of food intolerance, supported by a little stroll through history, which I do in my main paper The Answer. What you and your wife need to fully understand is the concept of food intolerance and how the “big 4” damage the gut and block absorption of essential nutrients such as calcium, iron, iodine, B complex vitamins, vitamin C, and trace minerals and how these proteins (lectins) are capable of doing phenomenal amounts of harm to all tissues, including the walls of arteries, blood cells themselves, and every other tissue including the brain. I’m sure that your wife’s medical history will make perfect sense to you when viewed through these eyes, including concurrent and pre-existing symptoms like headaches/migraines, heartburn/IBS, allergies, etc etc. that may have been occurring for years before the serious things started occurring. One huge piece of the puzzle lies in the work of Dr. Adamo who has written a number of books concerning eating for your blood type, based on lectins and how individuals with certain blood types are more susceptible to these food issues than others. If sickle cell disease were my medical problem, the very first thing I would do would be to begin the elimination diet that I already eat right now...it requires strict avoidance of all gluten (wheat, barley, rye), cow milk products, soy, and corn. This is easier than you may think. I would also avoid all trans fats/hydrogenated oils, which is also getting easier as they are being taken out of prepared foods right and left. I would also consider avoiding the entire legume family (soy, beans except green beans, and peas) as these lectins are problematic for many people, as Dr. D’Adamo and that lectin link above point out. The other thing to consider is having her blood tested, which will show secondary foods to which she may now be intolerant. You simply need to see how these dietary proteins are wreaking havoc on our bodies and how they can cause ALL of the symptoms seen in sickle cell disease. As I wrote in The Answer, I called my brother up one night after reading about Sickle Cell in the human Merck manual, a sort of medical encyclopedia of disease. I said “What does this sound like to you?” He said “That sounds like celiac disease”, the wheat/gluten intolerance that he and I suffer from. And it did sound just like it. Why? Because the common link is these dietary proteins and the damage they can do to our bodies. Ultimately, I am convinced that the sickle cell gene is a viral adaptation, just as most of our adaptations are. That is what viruses do for us in our bodies... they allow for adaptation. And, the presence of the malaria organism stimulates the cell to become a sickle cell, as we stated above. And it is the protein in that organism that the cells (and our immune systems) respond to. However, when this same cell is challenged by other proteins (e.g. lectins in sensitized individuals) long enough and in high enough doses, a multitude of other responses by the viruses in our cells can take place, including the development of cancers. The process that is supposed to be governing/over-seeing this whole dynamic is the (healthy) immune system. But, as the process of food intolerance continues, the immune system fails. As I have stated many times in my writing, the immune system becomes over-worked and under-paid. And when the immune system weakens and ultimately fails, that is when the serious things occur. That is why one could carry the sickle cell gene for years and not be afflicted until later in life. I would also expect post-menopausal women with sickle cell disease to get much worse. I hope this helps and at least gives you some insight into this horrible condition. I think you will find plenty of supportive evidence if you start looking for answers along these lines. Again, understanding lectins and Dr. D’Adamo’s work should really help. You may even attempt to contact him through the site mentioned above. Please keep in touch. I will try to help as much as I can.
  8. Celiac.com 04/17/2017 - A team of researchers recently set out to test this hypothesis and to gain insights into mechanisms underlying virus-induced loss of tolerance to dietary antigens. To do so, they developed a viral infection model that makes use of two reovirus strains that infect the intestine, but which differ in their immunopathological outcomes. The research team included Romain Bouziat, Reinhard Hinterleitner, Judy J. Brown, Jennifer E. Stencel-Baerenwald, Mine Ikizler, Toufic Mayassi, Marlies Meisel, Sangman M. Kim, Valentina Discepolo, Andrea J. Pruijssers, Jordan D. Ernest, Jason A. Iskarpatyoti, Léa M. M. Costes, Ian Lawrence, Brad A. Palanski, Mukund Varma, Matthew A. Zurenski, Solomiia Khomandiak, Nicole McAllister, Pavithra Aravamudhan, Karl W. Boehme, Fengling Hu, Janneke N. Samsom, Hans-Christian Reinecker, Sonia S. Kupfer, Stefano Guandalini, Carol E. Semrad, Valérie Abadie, Chaitan Khosla, Luis B. Barreiro, Ramnik J. Xavier, Aylwin Ng, Terence S. Dermody, and Bana Jabri. Reoviruses usually infect humans and mice without overt physical symptoms. Prior research by Bouziat et al., has shown that immune responses to two gut-infecting reoviruses take different paths in mice, as noted in the Perspective by Verdu and Caminero. Both reoviruses triggered protective immune responses. However, when one of the reoviruses occurred in the presence of a dietary antigen, such as gluten or ovalbumin, tolerance to the dietary antigen disappeared. This was because this strain blocked the formation of tolerogenic T cells. Instead, it promoted T helper 1 immunity to the dietary antigen through interferon regulatory factor 1 signaling. Moreover, celiac disease patients also showed elevated levels of antibodies against reovirus. Reovirus is an avirulent pathogen that elicits protective immunity, but these researcher have shown that it can also cause a disruption of intestinal immune homeostasis at inductive and effector sites of oral tolerance by suppressing peripheral regulatory T cell (pTreg) conversion, and promoting TH1 immunity to dietary antigen. TH1 immunity to dietary antigen depended on interferon regulatory factor 1, and was unconnected to suppression of pTreg conversion, which was mediated by type-1 interferon. This study provides important scientific support for the idea that this seemingly mild reovirus plays a major role in the development of celiac disease. Clearly further study is needed to determine the exact nature of the role of reovirus in celiac disease, and to determine if these connections might prompt any changes in celiac diagnosis and treatment.

  9. Celiac.com 03/22/2010 - The main cause for gluten intolerance continues to puzzle scientists, but pathogenesis theories include both genetic susceptibility and environmental triggers, like a virus or infection. For the first time, scientists working with the Academy of Finland’s Research Program on Nutrition, Food, and Health have found genes in the body that are associated both with the immune system and with the body's ability to properly digest gluten in the intestinal tract. Gluten intolerance arises from an autoimmune reaction in the small intestine to the gluten protein found in wheat, barley and rye. Academy Research Fellow Paivi Saavalainen, a veteran researcher in hereditary risk factors for gluten intolerance, says that "some of the genes we have identified are linked with human immune defense against viruses. This may indicate that virus infections may be connected in some way with the onset of gluten intolerance.” Data shows that rates of celiac disease in America have increased more than 400% since World War II. Meanwhile, a Finnish scientist internationally known for his gluten research says that the number of people in Finland who suffer from gluten intolerance has doubled over the last two decades. Since the early 1980s, the percentage of Finns with gluten intolerance has risen from about 1 percent of adults to about 2 percent, according to Professor Markku Mäki, head of a research project in the Academy of Finland's Research Program on Nutrition, Food and Health. "We've already seen a similar trend emerge earlier on where allergies and certain autoimmune disorders are concerned. Screening has shown that gluten intolerance occurs in 1.5 per cent of Finnish children and 2.7 per cent of the elderly. The higher figure for older people is explained by the fact that the condition becomes more frequent with age," says Mäki. For the immune study, when researchers scanned the genetic maps of more than 9400 celiac patients, they found areas of immune system disturbance. Their evidence also indicated that genes connected with the inability to digest gluten were also connected with other autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. Saavalainen and his team have succeeded in localizing risk genes in both individual patients and entire families, which adds weight to the notion that gluten intolerance is inherited. The researchers are hoping to use the genetic information to craft better screening tests for gluten intolerance, as up to 75% of people with gluten intolerance remain undiagnosed due to mild or atypical symptoms, and many with condition may unwittingly suffer damage to their intestinal villi. Professor Maki points out that many present first with iron deficient, or folic acid deficient, anemia. Source: Academy of Finland
