Would You Try a Vaccine for Celiac Disease?

Gee I would gladly try it. I wish I'd been in the trials, I'm so keen. I'd do just about anything at the thought of alleviating this rotten neuropathy and muscle /joint pain, extreme fatigue (9 months diagnosed celiac disease), so possibly still recovering /repairing.

Yep. If they get good results from the trials, I'll try it. Cross-contamination is getting to be an issue for me. Really don't want to live like a hermit and I do miss my beer.

Since the vaccine has to be taken on an ongoing basis, you can always stop using it. The vaccine is establishing a tolerance to dietary gluten via the peptides -

"It is specific for celiacs with the HLA-DQ2 haplotype, accounting for about 90% of celiac patients. Nexvax2 encompasses these three proprietary peptides, presenting them to T cells in the absence of a second, T-cell stimulatory signal. T cell recognition of the HLA-DQ2 bound toxic peptides thus occurs in a non-inflammatory environment, establishing tolerance to dietary gluten. This peptide based approach has been successful in generating tolerance in people with cat-sensitive asthma, and has not been used more broadly because it has been difficult to identify the correct toxic epitopes."

Yes please! I'm in Oregon and I'd LOVE to try it!

I have celiac disease and I am 13 years old... is there is any vaccine for celiac? If yes where did we can get it and how much is that?

A vaccine would be a prayer come true! To be able to travel and not worry about where to eat would be freedom. I would most certainly try it.

I agree what is wrong with going back to growing wheat and others that have not been genetically altered to produce MORE . Then we would not have this problem. I will not take the vaccine.

Currently, commercial wheat is NOT genetically modified. All strains of commercial wheat currently available were created through standard hybridization techniques.

I do not believe you have stated if this vaccine is for people with celiac disease or only to keep people without it from getting the disease?

The vaccine is designed to inoculate people who currently have the disease, desensitizing them so that no adverse gluten reaction took place.

No vaccines, period!

Are you in favor of smallpox, diphtheria, polio, measles, and the myriad other diseases that have killed and crippled millions of people over the centuries? Should we just let those go unchecked?

Seeing as vaccines in general don't work....no. I wouldn't put this crap in my or my child's body.

Vaccines "don't work?" Do you have any idea the number of people who no longer die from smallpox, diphtheria, polio, measles, and the myriad other diseases that have killed and crippled millions of people over the centuries? Vaccines do, in fact, "work." Open Original Shared Link

Would love a cure for coeliac diease. I am one of those people who are very sensitive and even the smallest amount of gluten makes me violently ill. I wouldn't eat gluten full time though. Would be good to have options again and not get ill from that I eat and can enjoy traveling more without worry.
