I don't think I would take it, but that would be great for people like my dad who refuse to acknowledge they have it, because they wouldn't be able to eat there favorite crap or drink their beer.

This Zonullin sounds good for celiacs to take as a precaution ..for those who eat out or at relatives houses....eat gluten-free, but in case they ingest gluten unknowingly...like at a wedding or event....not for purposefuly eating of gluten. It would appear to be a good back up plan and my husband is looking forward to this being available. It would provide peace of mind when you're found in a bad gluten circumstance.

This is my thought too. It be nice to let my son eat a supposedly gluten-free meal at a restaurant with out worries.

I agree with Deb and Vincent--it would be great to eat out again once in a while.

I hope it's something we can just take occasionally if we choose to, not something we have to take every day to build it up in our bodies. I don't know if I'd do that. At least not until a few years have passed and the FDA doesn't pull it off the shelves because of side effects like they have with so many medications in recent years.

And eating out... Could you imagine just being able to take the croutons off the salad?

Nancy:

The drug is meant to be taken before a gluten meal (kind of like a lactaid). I don't believe it "builds up" long term in our bodies. So yes, I believe you could just take it when you wanted to.

It stops gluten from crossing a barrier that it shouldn't (by closing the barrier), thus, preventing the autoimmune response from occurring.

      Muscle Twitching

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Oh, @Yaya! Five years???  How awful for you to suffer so long! My Vitamin D came up in a matter of months.  High dose Vitamin D has been used in the past to correct rickets and is a safe method to correct Vitamin D deficiency.   I took 1000 IU several times a day, every day for several weeks.  I ate them like m&m's when I was severely deficient.  My brain craved them.  I felt so much better afterwards.  On maintenance dose now.  Yes, the craving went away as my level reached 80-95.   Ask your cardiologist about supplementing with.Benfotiamine.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @CeliacPsycho246, My OCD symptoms resolved after I took supplements of the active form of Pyridoxine B6 called P5P and L-Theanine, an amino acid.   Pyridoxine B6 is absorbed from foods or supplements and then must be changed to its active form.  P5P is the active form.  Inflammation and malabsorption can impede this process.  Taking the active form is beneficial because it is ready to be used immediately.   L-Theanine is a natural amino acid that helps immensely with anxiety.   Together these two supplements really work to relieve OCD. I like Life Extension brand of P5P, but there are others that are labeled gluten free, too.  L-Theanine is found in chocolate, but as much as I love chocolate, Theanine  supplements work better.   Hope you are open to trying these as a stop-gap until your doctor's appointment.  Keep us posted on your results.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      On the cusp of facing a new life of managing a life with Celiac Disease

      Happy Thanksgiving!

      Help with results please. As I have a appt after the New Year.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      One positive blood test result means you likely have celiac disease, but to confirm it they may want to do an endoscopy to verify it with biopsies. Unless you have severe symptoms now, you likely should continue eating gluten daily until all testing is completed, and should eat tons of gluten daily in the 2 weeks before an endoscopy.
