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.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
