Vaccine For Celiac Patients

When it comes to finding treatments for Celiacs disease & creating awareness, we've come A LONG WAY. 
I am excited & also nervous to announce that they are making a vaccine for us celiacs. 
This will help us in addition to our gluten free diet.  

I am personally still on the fence about it's accuracy but according to Dr. Joseph Murray of the Rochester Clinic, he is hopeful. 

I do not think this vaccine should be administered and the patient to be allowed to eat gluten again, until this drug is tested for a longer period of time. Only because I have no idea the impact it will have on the body over time. What ever the case, I am happy that they are trying to make it easier on us & give us a drug that will help us in addition to our gluten free diet. 

Below you will find a link to a website that has more details about the vaccine & a link to Dr. Murray's video. Feel free to comment below, I would love to hear what you think about this new drug. 

Have a wonderful GLUTEN FREE day! 

-Love,

Dr. Murray's Views

Celiac Disease Timeline

Isn't it incredible how far along we've come? 

Like I said in my last post on here, we are blessed to be in this day an age. 

I just want to thank the Lord for bringing this to Dr. Gee's attention & helping him make the connection. 

Just think, in the early 1800s, people were having issues with Celiacs back then too. 

Celiacs has evolved so much during these years, that the common symptoms that go with Celiacs are not always the symptoms patients present now when going to see the doctor. 

Like for instance, Doctors thought that you had to be skinny, short, have diarrhea & or failing to grow, to even be considered to have Celiac Disease. 

Now days, you can be over weight, constipated & look to be completely healthy. 

You just never know, and that is a scary thought. 

But once again, due to the fact that we have ways to detect Celiacs Disease easier now, 

more and more people are being diagnosed with it. 

You just never know with Celiacs Disease to be honest, it can disguise itself as all sorts of diseases. 

It's a sneaky, annoying disease.

Remembering back

Let's take a moment out of our busy night tonight just to reflect on the fact that so many people lost their lives because of this disease. 

Back then, doctors had no idea what was causing these random deaths, they couldn't understand why so many children & adults were suffering from malnutrition while still on a balanced diet. They couldn't figure out why so many children failed to grow right & presented many symptoms. Connecting the dots was just near impossible. 

Finally after World War 2, doctors were able to finally see the connection between symptoms & what their patients ate. Children were getting better with the lack of gluten in their diet. 

We could have prevented the deaths of so many people if we would have come to this conclusion earlier.  

Luckily for you and I, doctors as well as medicine have come a long way. Technology & blood tests can now make it easier for doctors to detect this disease quickly. 

We now live in an age where you can typically find a gluten free product on the shelf of most grocery stores.  Decades before, that was not a common occurrence at all. 

So once again, I want to dedicate this post to those who lost their lives to this horrible disease.
