I found this abstract.

….

W. M. Roufail1 and Julian M. Ruffin1
(1) From the Department of Medicine, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, N. C.

Summary In 2 cases of gluten-sensitive enteropathy, clinical recovery, partial in one and complete in the other, followed the administration of a gluten-free diet. When challenged with gluten both patients had a pronounced relapse. After the prolonged administration of tetracycline both patients have resumed a normal diet and show no effect when challenged with gluten. If these results can be confirmed in other patients, there must be a factor other than gluten in the so-called gluten-sensitive enteropathy.
Supported in part by Grants AM-5093-08 and M01-FR30 from the National Institutes of Health, U. S. Public Health Service.

…

This is very interesting. Two people who cured/silenced
CD by using long term tetracycline.

Dear Shauna, this shows that perhaps CD can be cured by
killing certain bacteria that triggers CD. Unfortunately I could not acces the entire article. It requires subscription and possibly a fee.

If anybody can post the entire article, I would be very grateful, or please post it to my email address: ceman1082@hotmail.com

Greetings,

Ali

“There is a hypothesis that the immune system in the intestine of celiacs have a hard time discriminating between pathogens and benificial particles (i.e. gluten peptides) which suggests that gluten might be mistaken as a pathogen. Although not proven, there is strong evidence to suggest that this hypothesis is correct”

-this really interested me. do you know where i could find a fairly recent article going into more detail about this?? (or maybe a weblink for an article discussing this hypothesis)

I did know about Zonulin, but not about the pharmaceutical aspect.

Personally, I wouldnt take a pill. If there is a way to control a disease without the use of medication, then I honestly believe that that the non-medical way is better for your body in the long run. Popping pills for the rest of my life is far worse than not being able to eat gluten.

Very interesting articles, are you also aware that the scientists have identified Zonulin, a body produced chemical, which is very high in people with an intolerance to gluten, they are trying to control it and Alvine Pharmaceuticals are working on a blocker, which digests Gluten, this all points to a possible medical solution and what a blessing that would be. If you have a couple of minutes, take a look at our web site http://www.glutenfree-crawley.org.uk we have some wonderful recipes listed. Keep in touch. Don Tombs

Thank-you for posting this. I am not a celiac but am also gluten free due to research carried out with respect to dietary approaches for treating multiple sclerosis. This page has information on research connecting MS with celiac disease: http://www.celiac.com/articles/124/1/Multiple-Sclerosis-and-Celiac-Disease/Page1.html

There is a 40 minute talk by Dr. Loren Cordain (The author of The Paleo Diet) on the subject of this ms-diet but it is informative to anyone wishing to understand how some foods create ‘trojan horses’ in our digestive and neurological systems.

I provide the link not necessarily as a recommendation for his book/diet but for an excellent presentation of the science of digestion (with respect to your first and third facts in your post). This is the link to his presentation….the simultaneous powerpoint show only works in IE I think: http://wildhorse.insinc.com/directms03oct2007
