A new study by Dr. Alessio Fasano may reveal means of delaying or preventing
celiac disease and offer help for other autoimmune disorders.

In the forthcoming August 2009 issue of Scientific American, Dr. Fasano's
article entitled 'Surprises from Celiac Disease', discusses the connection
between the reaction to gluten in those with celiac disease and the onset of
other autoimmune diseases.

As Fasano explains,*"Celiac disease provides an enormously valuable model
for understanding autoimmune disorders because it is the only example where
the addition or removal of a simple environmental component, gluten, can
turn the disease process on and off."*
