Research Gives New Incite into Celiac Disease
I love love love this article. While the specific details of the find aren’t exactly discussed, it is amazing to me that we have come so far with science that we can view interactions at a sub-molecular level. This is a great first step to figuring out the intricate immune response that causes Celiac Disease and coming one step closer to finding a ‘cure’.

Grains They can Stomach
Combining science, the crops of ancient cultures, and simple observation scientist David Sands is well on the way to developing some healthy ‘new’ crops for gluten free eaters. He has developed 4 new crops, read on in the article for further details. While I am not sure how I feel about modified and developed crops, since they seem to close to genetically modified for me, I think this is a great concept and love the idea of reviving past products that our ancestors relied on.

Can Breast Feeding During Infancy Lower the Risk for Celiac Disease?
This is something I’ve touched on in my entries before, but this time around there is some updated research. Current research is inconclusive regarding whether breastfeeding and time of introduction off gluten to an infant’s diet may influence the development of Celiac Disease. A new extensive study is stepping off of old studies into the realm of experimental designs, in which groups of infants will be given gluten or placebo at different times from 4 months on while being breastfed. These result could change the European Society Paediatric, Hepatology, and Nutrition’s guidelines for gluten introduction for infants.
