Finally!!!  Several years after I wrote the following article* and 
advocated celiac disease researchers study the bacterial makeup in 
the guts of celiac infants (identical twins in particular), a research study 
has ACTUALLY been performed for the FIRST time to compare fecal 
microflora between normal and celiac infants.  This is only a start.  I 
hope there will be continued research looking at bacterial differences 
in infant identical twins and looking for gluten peptides inside of 
commensal bacteria using immunogold electron microscopy.

the Pathogenesis of Celiac Disease?"
