Around 1 percent of the American population is affected by celiac disease. For the ... Most are slow or don't target all of the gluten molecules. ... “The obvious [benefit is that] you don't have to worry about following a gluten-free diet.

Good in theory but I have a feeling they will flop like all of the other enzyme therapies.....like trying to prevent the sticky floor and mess of pouring a glass of juice on the floor by putting down a pile of paper towels...you going to get most of it but some is going to get through some is going to splatter and cause collateral issues......you can not just intercept and try to prevent a reaction to a bloody molecule smaller then a germ, a dang protein, buy trying to eliminate it after it has entered the body......like drinking bleach/antifreeze and trying to puke it all back up....it is in your body your going to get some ill effect maybe not as bad or quick.  

Key is eliminating the gluten before it enters the body, or turning off the bodies response to the protein. THOSE would be what we need, I see more potential in a kind of "gluten vaccine" that might turn off our immune response to gluten. Even is just a temporary measure like say a crispr RNA treatment or a targeted immune suppressant.

I think these doctors might have to experience how even the tiniest CC effects many of us and how before they try coming up with a half baked treatment of dealing with it in the body.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I am curious: What was your initial level at? How many daily IUs were you taking via supplements and for how long? What did your level drop to? How many daily IUs are you taking now via supplements? Regards, Known1

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @MoniqueCham! Celiac disease damages the villous lining of the small bowel but, as far as I know, doesn't affect the underlying smooth muscle tissue of the bowel.

      I am monitored for this value of Vit D.  I kept going down so the Vit D had to be increased.

      I was diagnosed with celiac disease 40 years ago and lymphocytic colitis 20 years ago along with refractory celiac disease affecting mid jejunum to mid ileum (diagnosed using a capsule endoscopy). My antibodies to tissue transglutaminase were normal on a strict gluten free diet. Both the lymphocytic colitis and the refractory celiac disease responded well to entocort. I have a number of autoimmune conditions including systemic granuloma annulaire (a skin condition) which was treated with methotrexate. I was on a low dose of methotrexate (15 mg once a week with folic acid every day when not taking methotrexate). In 5 months my sigmoid colon ruptured. Pathology reports show that I had significant necrosis of my sigmoid bowel due to no known cause and a large hole in the bowel. My surgeons felt that the methotrexate may have caused the damage and rupture to my bowel (1 in a million chance). My question is has anyone experienced similar issues with methotrexate given that the integrity of our intestines may be compromised in celiac disease?
