Dear All,

Last night here in the UK this "science for the masses"
program ran a piece on a new test kit with high specificity
for gluten.

The kit is described by it's manufacturer on
http://www.tepnel.com/products/BioKits/GlutenRapid.asp and
the story can be read on http://www.bbc.co.uk/tw/

Folks the message is just starting to get through!!!

The other interesting notion the program informed us of is
that a research group in Oxford (UK) has now identified the
actual sequence of amino acids which are causal for coeliac
and intend to attempt to produce a vaccine against it.  A
fantastic thought ..... BUT ...... I'm not holding my
breath waiting.

Regards to all,

David
