<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I have tried not to post a response to all the negative comments about the news of a possible enzyme pill or vaccine that may help Celiacs in the future, but I can't sit by any longer and read these messages and not get all stirred up inside. I'm fortunate in that I do not have CD. My 5-year-old son does. And I hope with all my heart that one day he will be able to lead a relatively normal life that doesn't separate him from the food table where everyone else sits. I can't possibly know what those of you who have have years of misdiagnoses have gone through or the trauma your bodies have suffered. I can only see the look in my son's eyes of hoping that he, too, will be able to eat like everyone else. As a community, if we continue to shoot down any possible hope that is offered, why should the scientific world even bother to help us? I know if I were a researcher on this list serve, I'd wonder if my work is welcomed at all by the very folks I'd be hoping to help. I am not a scientist, however, and therefore I cannot possibly guess at the future sucesses or failures or complications from what comes out of the research currently being conducted. I can only cheered the efforts on and would hope that we can all do the same, even if we choose not to participate in whatever comes of it. As far as the concern some have over the effects of a possible pill, I can only say that I have taken Lactaid pills for my lactose intolerance and have not experienced any problems whatsoever. Not all medication is bad and to lump this unknown "pill" in with others that do indeed have severe side effects is a shame at this early stage. Perhaps we should wait until we actually have something to judge. *Support summarization of posts, reply to the SENDER not the CELIAC List*
