Hi All--

Apparently, one of the responses I received regarding my question, "Will the
CD Pill Help All Celiacs" was in error. The response that I pasted into my
summary was this:

"There as a posting from Cynthia at the Gluten Tolerance Assn of North
America recently saying definitively that the gluten pill will not work for
celiacs."

Cynthia Kupper asked me to post this correction:

  Here is your statement from below: "There as a posting from Cynthia at the
Gluten Tolerance Assn of North America [should be: Gluten Intolerance Group
of North America] recently saying definitively that the gluten pill will not
work for celiacs.


My comments were in relationship to a question about a pill called
'Glutenese', NOT the AT-1001 pill. Glutenese has not undergone testing such
as required by the FDA for drugs such as the AT-1001, and there is no
documented proof it is helpful for persons with Celiac disease, in fact the
company is careful to make a statement that persons with CD should not use
Glutenese. Researchers also tell persons with celiac disease not to use
Glutenese.

The AT-1001 offers good hope for persons with celiac disease to have a
potential drug alternative to the GFD. And may lead to discovery of
treatments for other diseases as well.

I would appreciate your providing a correction to your posting asap. This
type of misinformation is very damaging.
Thank you.
