    Why Your Microbiome is the Future of Celiac Disease Treatment

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    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 affiliated with the Enteric Neuroscience Program, Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN; the Department of Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN; the Department of Computer Science at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel and with the Department of Immunology, at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel.

    Your personal microbiome is the sum total of all the microbes that reside within and upon you, along with all their genetic elements. Using genome sequencing allows doctors to design highly personal, highly focused treatments and therapeutic strategies.

    In their review for the Mayo Clinic Proceedings, the team highlights the importance of the microbiome in all aspects of human disease, including pathogenesis, phenotype, prognosis, and treatment response. The microbiome also plays a crucial role as a diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker.

    The team's report describes the role to be played by next-generation sequencing in helping to provide precision microbial identification of infectious diseases, and helping to elucidate the nature and function of microbial communities.

    Basically, as we further unlock the human genome, we can begin to better understand the role played by the myriad microbes that make up the human microbiome. As we unlock the role of various parts of the microbiome, look for major advances and refinements to diagnosing, treating, and even conquering conditions like celiac disease, and many others. And, with advances coming at breakneck speed, look for this to happen sooner, rather than later.

    Domesticated durum wheat has been hybridized with wild diploid grass to make the hexaploid wheats, spelt wheat and bread wheat which have three sets of paired chromosomes (three X as many as in diploid wheat). Recent deliberate selection of alleles has created the ´dwarfing´ trait. Genetic mapping enable breeders recognize crossover events occurring in progeny lines & allow for genetic marker placement. Breeding objectives include high grain yield, good quality, disease and insect resistance and tolerance to abiotic stresses, including mineral, moisture and heat tolerance. However, the human tolerance was "NOT considered", "NOR investigated" prior to the yield being released into market. "Modern" bread wheat varieties have been cross-bred to contain greater amounts of gluten. Ask yourself the following questions: (1) Do you have a 4 chamber stomach that is necessary for digesting grass? (2) Do you believe eating "grasses" is healthy? (3) Do you want to risk developing celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, gluten ataxia and dermatitis herpetiformis? (4) Do you want to risk never again having the ability to eat gluten cross-reactors yeast or egg or dairy or and products containing these? It's too late for hundreds of thousands of people world-wide who have developed celiac and gluten related diseases since the 2009 arrival of the "modern" dwarf wheat. The impact on industries: egg and dairy farmers has been financially substantial. (5) Do you ever wonder why the FDA did not required controlled testing of a wheat that contains 17 times the gluten content of the 1960's dwarf version? Gluten exposure has proved to be devastating. Malnutrition from gluten exposure brings on an array of other disease processes. (6) Do you "NOT see" that the thrust of this article is to accustom people into accept altering their DNA in order that it fit into the "grass" world. The grain cultivators now know the impact of the mess that they created and care not what further devastation lays in wait.

    Read "Altered Genes, Twisted Truth" for scientific look at GMO's.

    I'm watching the video now at Open Original Shared Link L-TRYPTOPHAN producing GE altered bacteria (in which gene pairs were added) were over stressed. The organism produced un-natural by product. These toxins were not identified prior to the sleep aids release to the public. The toxins injured 4 to 5 thousand people many of whom suffered death and/or permanent disabilities. GE side effects were known, yet denied by the FDA per this report. The smartest of microbiologists supported the "bean bag gene theory" which was later proven to be wrong. Humans are currently living in dangerous times.

    Fecal Microbiota Transplant Restores Gut Microbiome
    Celiac.com 09/16/2016 - Great news about poop transplants: They work! And now doctors kind of understand how and why they work. This is good news about a humor provoking, but very serious matter.
    Clostridium difficile infection is one of the most common health care-associated infections, and up to 40% of patients suffer from recurrence of disease following standard antibiotic therapy. C. difficile infection has proven to be very difficult to treat. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been successfully used to treat recurrent C. difficile infection. Doctors hypothesize that FMT promotes recovery of a microbiota capable of colonization resistance to C. difficile. However, they didn't really understand how it worked.
    Recently, a research team investigated changes in the fecal...

    Full Gut Recovery from Celiac Disease Can Take Up to Two Years
    Celiac.com 03/14/2017 - Recent studies of adult celiacs have suggested that complete, not just partial, mucosal recovery and healing is possible, but, in many cases, may take longer than is currently understood.
    Recently Dr. Hugh James Freeman of the Department of Medicine, Gastroenterology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada, conducted a study to assess healing time in celiac patients. In this study, 182 patients (60 males, 122 females) referred for evaluation of symptoms, including diarrhea and weight loss, were selected only if initial biopsies showed characteristic inflammatory changes with severe architectural disturbance.
    All patients were treated with a strict gluten-free diet, and diet compliance was regularly monitored. Up to 90% or more of patients showed...

    Can Probiotics Delay Gluten Intolerance in Children?
    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...

    Is There a Connection Between Antibiotic Use and Celiac Disease Autoimmunity?
    Celiac.com 11/07/2017 - Researchers still don't have much good data on the consequences of antibiotic use in early life and how that relates to the risk of certain autoimmune diseases.
    A team of researchers recently set out to test the association between early-life antibiotic use and islet or celiac disease autoimmunity in genetically at-risk children prospectively followed up for type 1 diabetes (T1D) or celiac disease. Their study is part of a larger study called The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young, or TEDDY, for short.
    The reasearch team enrolled HLA-genotyped newborns from Finland, Germany, Sweden, and the United States between November 20, 2004, and July 8, 2010, and analyzed data from November 20, 2004, to August 31, 2014.
    They also enrolled individuals...
