While we know that celiac disease has a genetic component, precisely what causes the disease to appear continues to puzzle researchers.
A new study is beginning to shed light on this. Researchers recently discovered that infection with reoviruses may play a role -- a finding that could be bringing us closer to a vaccine for celiac disease.
When thinking about controlling celiac disease, one generally thinks about food -specifically, adhering to a strict, gluten-free diet. But recent research is suggesting that this may be only a piece of the puzzle. In addition to diet, moderate exercise could also help with managing celiac disease.
Millions and millions of people around the world have completely eliminated gluten from their diets. As awareness of celiac disease and gluten-sensitivity grows and diagnostic capabilities improve, these numbers show no sign of shrinking.
The reality of a vaccine used to treat celiac disease has gotten even closer. Researchers working on a vaccine to protect those with celiac from gluten-exposure have successfully moved forward to the next round of clinical trials.
While roughly 40% of people in the United States have the genes that predispose them to celiac disease, the disease is only present in an estimated 1% of the population. Why are so many people genetically predisposed to develop celiac able to tolerate gluten just fine?
Scientists have discovered a new way in which celiac patients may be able to digest gluten - with the help of an enzyme extracted from carnivorous plants.
Pitcher plants, which have a cup-like shape that traps insects, could hold a solution for a new treatment for celiac disease (...)
Thanks to a new Aussie invention, gluten-free barley beer is hitting the shelves in Europe and Australia, and will soon reach the U.S.
Scientists from Australian research agency CSIRO, with co-funding from the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC), have bred Kebari (...)
While more and more research is being done on celiac disease, there is still so much we don't know, and a lot of that pertains to risk factors.
Why do some people develop celiac while others don't? If someone is genetically predisposed for celiac, what influences whether or not they will develop the disease? What are the risk factors that influence who develops celiac?
A new study published in the journal Gut has found that wheat can cause an immune reaction in people without celiac disease, confirming that there appears to be a biological explanation for non-celiac wheat sensitivity.
A new vaccine that can protect celiac sufferers against gluten exposure could be closer than you think. NexVax2, a vaccine that stops the body from reacting to gluten, could allow celiac patients to eat a normal diet.
I'm going to tell you all something that you probably already know. Regardless of the plethora of gluten-free breads and baked goods out there, one thing continues to remain certain: none of them taste all that good. But you may want to start to get excited, because it looks like that may be about to change.
A drug to treat celiac disease could very well be just around the corner. Alba Therapeutics is on the FDA fast track, and we're here to share with you all of the details of this exciting development!
Did you know that if you are diagnosed with celiac disease, you may be able to claim tax deductions for the extra costs associated with buying gluten-free food and products? While this can be a tedious process, there’s a new app that helps ease the burden!
While an estimated 1% of the population suffers from celiac disease, a whopping 29% of the American population say they’re trying to cut back or eliminate gluten from their diets. So why are so many people avoiding gluten if only 1% of the population has celiac disease? […]
