Celiac Disease Vaccine?

Hi,

Just wondered what your thoughts were on the proposed Celiac Disease Vaccine??

Apparently it will be ready within the next 10 years. For some that might be a long wait for others they are happy that the vaccine they are currently using (a Gluten Free Diet) is already working just fine.

Would I take the Vaccine?

At the moment I would be in between and it all depends how the vaccine is administered.  

If it was a medication that I had to take every day for the rest of my life to prevent gluten symptoms, then no I would not take it. I just think it would be messing with my body to much. My body has told me clearly that it does not want to consume gluten, therefore I need to listen to my body if the Celiac Disease Vaccine is administered on a permanent basis.

However if I could take a tablet only when I wanted to. Like before a meal at a friend’s house or at a restaurant to celebrate my Wife’s birthday. Then yes, I would probably take it in isolation. I mean I like a drink now and again but I’m not an alcoholic. Gluten every once in a while could be my choice. My vice!! And I think I would like that.

You are soo right about genetically modifying our food.  I've been diagnosed Gluten Intolerant about a month and feel great without the wheat/barley/rye.  Am reading the book "Wheat Belly" and am floored by the way they change our food without thought or clinical trials of safety of peoples intestines etc. This book has a lot of information. The wheat has been changed to a different strain then Biblical times and the times of our ancestors. I feel soo much better.  I'm taking a Ortho Biotic (probiotic),  and InflammaCore (for inflammation).  I' m Almost normal, I just hope this lasts.  For six years or better, I've been miserable and really accepted the fact that I will just live my life out this way.  Help came when I changed Dr., wasn't expecting anything different....nice surprise!

I've heard people complaining about the GM., I never thought it was effecting me or that it was my biggest problem. I just found this part of the forums, I've been on chrons and other digestive disorders forums.  I think this is where I belong.

I don't approve the vaccine either, have had too much dumped on my system already (no pun intended lol ).

Hoping for better laws on all these new things for our safety.
