as far as I can tell from the evidence I've read, there is no IgE
mediated response involved in celiac.   I'd like to see your evidence
for your statement that 'the cause of celiac disease is the reponse of
the IgE from a glutne petid [sic] that can not be digested (mer-33).
you won't have evidence b/c it doesn't exist.

celiac is not caused by us overprotecting our immune systems.  there
*is* evidence that more asthma and IgE mediated rxns to animals exist
when kids are raised in an overly clean environment and have very very
little exposure to germs or animals as a child.

The same mechanism is not at work with celiac.   Please show me the
evidence that you think supports your position.
