Guest guest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 There is no current cure for celiac disease. It can only be treated by following a gluten-free diet. There are no magic bullets for this. It is a genetic auto-immune disease and believing that anything can cure this, without peer reviewed journal research proof will put believers at risk for secondary diseases such as other autoimmune diseases and cancer. 41% of adult celiacs have no symptoms, so how one would decide they are " cured " is concerning. Maybe these chiropractic quacks need to get sued a few times before they will stop trying to make money off of the most vulnerable people in society. N.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 You're right, there is no cure, but maybe there is some glimmer of hope for some relief ( not from a chiropractor though) This is a release about a new enzyme that degrades gluten, suggesting that they could perhaps liberalize their diet. who knows. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/06/060624115800.htm Re: chiropractices " cures' celiacs There is no current cure for celiac disease.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 The enzyme would be a wonderful help, but from everything I have read it is only promising to reduce the risk of contamination from accidental exposure to gluten, as often occurs in restaurants, etc. It is not expected to replace the gluten-free diet, just offers added protection. It does give some hope that one day an enzyme will be developed that will be as effective as lactase enzyme replacers. N.Moran, MPH, RD, LDN Kathy Bingham wrote: I agree! " Ortiz, R.D.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 I agree. Being celiac I tend to think of it as my body's way of keeping me healthy. We eat very little processed foods anymore. At the check out counter I putting toiletries, fresh fruits, vegs and meat. Everyone else has boxes. It sort of weird. But then we don't produce much trash at the end of the week. {grin} Moran wrote: The enzyme would be a wonderful help, but from everything I have read it is only promising to reduce the risk of contamination from accidental exposure to gluten, as often occurs in restaurants, etc. It is not expected to replace the gluten-free diet, just offers added protection.
