PSA: People with diagnosed celiac disease cannot eat gluten in Europe! Also, just a note that symptoms (or lack thereof) are not a good measure of internal damage. For example, asymptomatic celiac disease patients have no symptoms, but their intestines still sustain damage. #health #italy🇮🇹 #italy #gluten #glutensensitivity #glutenintolerance #celiacdisease #celiac #greenscreenvideo #autoimmune #chronicillness

“My primary care doctor sent me to over 15 doctors and specialists. He sent me to one last doctor, and I was reluctant because I thought he was going to be like the others, but I was very wrong. He was the only doctor who asked me, ‘What's wrong?’ He was the only doctor that spoke to me and not just to my parents. He was the only doctor that looked at me as a 7-year-old girl who had lost all hope of ever being diagnosed and said, ‘I don't know what's wrong, but I will not give up on you until I figure it out.’”—@heatherlevinee's story.

RESEARCH NEWS: A clinical trial testing a new celiac disease treatment has launched in the United States. The treatment, called DONQ52, is a monoclonal antibody that is designed to inhibit the immune system from reacting to gluten, stopping the process that causes damage in patients with celiac disease. Compensation will be provided to those who participate and reimbursement for travel costs is also available.

RESEARCH NEWS: A recent study found children without symptoms had gluten in urine and stool samples. This backs up earlier evidence that symptoms are not reliable indicators of gluten getting into the gluten-free diet. Similarly, a 2016 study found that symptoms were not reliable predictors of intestinal damage. It bears repeating: a lack of symptoms doesn't always indicate healthy intestines. Asymptomatic celiac disease is real.

Really wonderful news out of Italy! They are starting a program to test everyone from 1-17 for celiac disease. Although it's only in Italy, this is a win for the entire community; results from there could influence whether or not similar programs spread to other countries. . . . . #celiac #celiacdisease #autoimmune #autoimmunedisease #gluten #glutenfree #glutenfreeliving #chronicillness #celiacawareness
