I just banned someone. I don’t taking banning people lightly. Let me explain how and why.

I don’t know everything about celiac disease. I make mistakes. I try to explain what it is like to live with celiac disease. I don’t mind people that disagree with me. I want people to ask questions and ask me to clarify what I post about. I’m here to advocate, describe, and discuss living with celiac disease.

What I will not tolerate is someone talking about taking a vaccine or medicine for celiac and being “owned by pharmaceutical companies”. They talked about using mRNA vaccines to “change your DNA”. All of the trigger words to spark a response without any knowledge or information about the drugs or celiac disease.

Take a medication for celiac disease, when it becomes available, or not. That is a discussion between you and your doctor. You should research the medication, discuss side effects, and determine if it is right for you.

For me, there are several medications in the pipeline I would consider – ZED1227, TAK-101, and TAK-062. Latiglutenase, entering Phase 3 trials, only works for those with positive celiac disease blood markers. Note – everyone has positive blood tests at diagnosis except the few that don’t. This is positive blood tests after a year on a gluten free diet. Once your blood tests are negative, Latiglutenase has accomplished its goal.

None of these drugs are currently available and will not be for several years.

Anyway, my point is, living with celiac disease and managing a gluten free diet is exceptionally difficult. It affects every aspect of the celiac patient’s life. If something comes out that may help, it is your choice to take it or not.
