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.

      Many years ago yes, after eating and going to bed, apparently my esophagus filled with food that my body rejected, the esophagus would lay against the Heart sack (pericardium?) and the heart would respond by becoming arrhythmic. That went away with the strict diet.

      I was commenting on the report saying it did not mention migraines! Yes it does last paragraph says have not seen any evidence that Celiac cause migraines! I thought this was about truth?

      It has been known for some years that celiacs suffer from migraines at a higher rate than the general populatation. It is an established symptom.

      I suffer so bad with migraines when I eat gluten! Yes diagnosed celiac disease n 2015 and it took me years to discover gluten was behind me having severe migraines.  So yes it happens there has to be others like me!
