Hi Ingrid,
I apologize for being a wet blanket, but I read that article, and it appears to be pretty much of an infomercial (designed mainly to sell products). Unfortunately, 90% reduction won't do the job. 99% wouldn't do the job. 99.9% wouldn't do the job. 90% is no better than all of the products already sold to eliminate celiac disease by "improving" the digestion of gluten. Leaving 10 % of the inflammation would still cause most of us to react.
It might help in a pinch (such as in a restaurant, when the food is cross-contaminated with gluten), but it wouldn't allow us to safely eat gluten regularly. I interpret it to be just another attempt to make money off celiac patients who don't know any better (who don't understand what gluten does to our body). Trying to "trick" the immune system is no better than taking an immune system suppressant. It's like trying to trick mother nature. Mother nature doesn't appreciate attempts to trick her, and she usually fights back.
The bottom line is, it probably won't hurt to use this stuff, especially if you're not meticulous with your diet (or you eat out a lot), but it's not going to be a complete solution.
At least that's my opinion.

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.
