Duodenal Histology in Patients with Celiac Disease after Treatment with a Gluten-free Diet
Celiac.com 2/13/2003 - This new study emphasizes the importance of following a strict gluten-free diet, and getting regular follow-up biopsies after your diagnosis. It also speaks to the need to discover whether or not you may have additional food intolerance, such as to cows milk (casein), soy, corn, etc., as some of these can also cause intestinal damage similar to that of celiac disease. -Scott Adams

Could Hookworm Infections Help Cure Celiac Disease?
Celiac.com 11/16/2009 - Could unknown benefits from one of the oldest parasites of the human digestive tract hold the key to cure for celiac disease?
Australian scientists think so. Encouraged by successful treatments of Crohn's and ulcerative colitis by American researchers using a pig whipworm (Trichuris sues), a team of Australian researchers is recruiting volunteers with celiac disease for trials using human hookworm (Necator americanus).
The researchers have undertaken a similar preliminary study using a human hookworm in Crohn's patients.
Researchers hypothesize that the disappearance of intestinal parasites from humans in developed countries may be responsible for the upsurge in many diseases including Celiac Disease, Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, asthma and hay fever. ...

  Implications of glutening after repairing villi
  
  It will not undo all of the healing. If it did, diagnosis of celiac disease would be much easier! To have enough damage to see on an endoscopy requires several weeks of gluten ingestion.

  Implications of glutening after repairing villi
  
  HI, I am new to this and am still in 'repair' mode, which I know will take time. But I'm wondering if anyone knows what happens if you ingest gluten after you have made a lot of progress in repairing your villi. Does anyone know if you just have a short-term issue? Or does an accidental ingestion of gluten derail all the work you've done and set you back...

  Is McDonald's Safe for Gluten-Free Orders?
  
  Here is an excerpt from this article: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC82695: Studies have shown that various peptidases of fungal, plant, animal, or bacterial origin are able to hydrolyze gluten into harmless peptides. According to SDS‐PAGE pattern, proteolytic enzymes hydrolyze gliadins (Heredia‐Sandoval et al., 2016; Scherf et al., 2...

  Anybody else have a similar experience...theories welcome as its something which i dont really understand.....
  
  There aren't good studies that have been done on celiac disease remission, and I'm going from a distant memory of an older post here, but the longest remission that Dr. Stefano Guandalini from the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center has witnessed was ~10 years, then the symptoms of celiac disease and the damage came back. The real issue though, is...
