Celiac.com 10/09/2017 - New trial data suggests that the probiotic strains Lactobacillus plantarum Heal 9 and Lactobacillus paracasei 8700:2 may provide support for the immune system and delay the onset of gluten intolerance in children.
The findings, recently presented at the International Celiac Disease Symposium in New Delhi, suggest that Probi's patented probiotic strains have a 'surprisingly consistent' effect on suppressing coeliac autoimmunity and may delay the onset of the disease in children who are genetically pre-disposed to the condition.
"To our knowledge this is the first time a probiotic study has been performed on this specific population and the results show immune-supporting properties of these probiotics as well as a potential preventive effect on the development...

Celiac.com 12/25/2017 - In the very near future, your personal microbiome may be the key to creating a customized treatment for celiac disease.
That's because new advances in genome studies are promising to help create a customized, individual approach for treating numerous disorders, including celiac disease. Such individualized treatments may also help to reduce adverse events, and decrease health care costs.
So far, a similar approach for optimizing preventive and therapeutic approaches in cancer using human genome sequencing has proven successful.
Writing in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings, ad team of researches expounded on this approach. The research team included Purna C. Kashyap, Nicholas Chia, PhD, Heidi Nelson, MD, Eran Segal, PhD, and Eran Elinav, MD, PhD. They are variously...

Celiac.com 12/28/2018 - Beyond a few teaser studies, we don’t know enough about whether the individual micro-biome might play a role in the development of celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease.
Top celiac researcher Alessio Fasano, together with colleague G. Serena, recently presented an overview of current knowledge regarding the contribution of the individual micro-biome to celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease. Their discussion includes a particular focus on how probiotics may be used as potential preventive therapy for CIDs.
They are both affiliated with the Mucosal Immunology and Biology Research Center and Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Massachusetts General Hospital for Children - Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.

Celiac.com 08/11/2020 - Research shows that people with celiac disease have an altered gut microbiota, compared with healthy control subjects. A team of researchers recently set out to evaluate the composition of the microbiota of children at celiac onset, and the connection between bacterial abundances and symptoms.
The research team included Anna Rita Di Biase, Giovanni Marasco, Federico Ravaioli, Elton Dajti, Luigi Colecchia, Beatrice Righi, Virginia D'Amico, Davide Festi, Lorenzo Iughetti, and Antonio Colecchia. They are variously affiliated with the Pediatric Unit, Modena University Hospital, Modena, Italy; the Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, University of Bologna, Italy; and the Gastroenterology Unit of University Hospital Borgo Trento in Verona, Italy.
