<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi All-- I was reading about the AT-1001 pill that is getting so much press right now - a gluten blocker, which prevents the autoimmune reaction in the small intestine that results. So far, test results have been promising. Not a cure for celiac disease and not a replacement for the GF diet, it would, however, allow persons with celiac a more normal life. Celiac disease, however, does not always present itself as an intestinal illness - and frequently people may not exhibit any symptoms at all, or the symptoms may be neurological. Many people on this list have negative serologies and biopsies, yet improve on a GF diet. Some of us have been told we're gluten intolerant or gluten sensitive. Will AT-1001 help the thousands of patients who don't have an iron-clad diagnosis proven by flattened villi...or is it aimed at only those celiacs who have measurable intestinal damage? I'm not trying to be antagonistic about this - I would really like to know. I think it's terrific that so many people will be helped by this drug, if it's approved! I'm just not sure who the target patient is. Can anyone provide information or answers to my question?
