    Why All the Hate for Celiac Disease Drug Treatments?
    Celiac.com 09/18/2015 - That old saw about death and taxes might need a bit of amending to include complaints about pharmaceutical companies working on celiac drug treatments.
    One interesting facet of our coverage of the development of various drugs to treat and/or cure celiac disease has been the regular presence of comments questioning the motives,and actions of the companies involved.
    It's funny, but no one complains that companies still make money selling aspirin, and that no one has cured a headache, and that there must be some conspiracy to profit off of those who suffer a headache.
    There's no doubt that there's money to be made producing drugs that treat disease. But, if a company can develop and produce a safe drug to protect celiacs against contamination,...

    The Appeal of Vaccine Treatments for Celiac Disease
    Celiac.com 12/21/2020 - Recent leaps in understanding the development of celiac disease have led efforts toward a new, non-dietary, vaccine therapy. 
    A lifelong gluten-free diet remains the only treatment for celiac disease, but research shows that even the most diligent gluten-free dieters are likely to be exposed to gluten on a regular basis. This is part of the appeal of safe, effective non-dietary treatments for celiac disease. And adjunctive and/or vaccine therapy is one of those approaches.
    New therapies might focus on immune regulation by IL-10, as in vitro models of treated celiac patients show that external IL-10 can overwhelm the gliadin driven IFN-γ response in intestinal biopsies. But, even though people with active celiac disease show high levels of anti-infl...

    Once Promising Celiac Drug Larazotide Looks Doomed After Disappointing Phase 3 Trial
    Celiac.com 07/18/2022 - Currently, a gluten-free diet is the only treatment for people with celiac disease. A number of companies have been attempting to create treatments that reduce or eliminate celiac disease symptoms, mostly for patients on a gluten-free diet. 
    Larazotide, whose clinical trial is dubbed "CedLara," is such a drug. It's designed to reduce persistent celiac disease symptoms for people on a gluten-free diet. 
    In an earlier phase 2 trial, Larazotide was shown to reduce celiac symptoms in patients who had been on a gluten-free diet for at least 12 months. Many were excited to see how it would do in a phase 3 trial. The answer, unless we get some better news from 9 Meters Biopharma, the company that has been developing it, is badly.
    For the phase 3 t...

    Latiglutenase Protects the Gut and Improves Symptoms in Celiacs Who Eat Gluten
    Celiac.com 09/05/2022 - According to studies, most people with celiac disease are exposed to gluten on a regular basis, even those who are trying to be diligent about avoiding gluten. For these people, eating gluten can trigger gastrointestinal symptoms and intestinal damage.
    Anyone whose ever had that happen can testify to the unpleasant results, including the stomach pain, bloating, diarrhea, and other symptoms. Currently, there aren't too many options for celiacs who are exposed to small amounts of gluten, especially for those exposed on a regular basis. 
    A team of researchers recently set out to assess changes in the ratio of villus height to crypt depth in celiac patients exposed to 2g of gluten per day for 6 weeks, as part of a study on IMGX003 (Latiglutinase). On be...

      Global Food Gluten Free Certification

      So I got curious and looked up the address of Global Food and found that their listed address is the EXACT same as the Roastery Coast nuts, the original product that I found the Global Food Gluten Free Certification on. Global Food and Roastery Coast are the same company. I'm seriously cracking up at how sketchy it is. ROASTERY COAST OFFICE 40...
