A Vaccine to Cure Celiac Disease

Post by tex »

Hi All,

Most of us are aware of a pill that Dr. Alessio Fasano is developing , (currently in trials), to allow celiacs to avoid a reaction to gluten, as long as they take a pill at the start of a meal that includes gluten.

Now, Australian scientists have developed a vaccine for celiacs, that is claimed to be capable of making the GF diet obsolete. This project is already in the trial stage, also.

How about that?

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

That's fantastic news. I wonder how long it will take before it is available?
