Until recently, there was no information on how closely childhood Celiac mirrored adult
Celiac disease. Researchers show that kids with Celiac react to the same toxic protein in gluten
that adults do. The T- cell response to gluten are similar, regardless to age or length of disease.
The T-cells are triggered by the immune system to fight the gluten proteins, damaging the small
intestine and causing malabsorption.
The findings that were published suggest new treatments for a " Celiac-vaccine" and other tests
for adults, will also benefit children with the disease.buff.ly/1L9w8Fg
