According to statistics, from celiac disease (celiac disease) suffers every 100th inhabitant of Russia, so that the number of victims of this disorder is close to 1, 5 million people. They all have protein intolerance gluten That is, the very gluten that is contained in the products of wheat, barley and rye.
While the bread is the main source gluten , This protein is also available in a variety of foods from pasta and sausages to pastries and cookies. Modern medicine does not have any drugs that could help victims celiac disease And such people have an increased risk of osteoporosis, infertility, and bowel cancer, if they are not excluded from the diet products with gluten.
This is due to the fact that gluten inflicts damage on the surface of tiny villae of the small intestine that stimulates digestion. When the villi are damaged and inflamed, they do not absorb food properly, which often is the cause of diarrhea and malnutrition.
Deprived of vitamins and minerals from food bones begin to weaken, and that increases the likelihood of osteoporosis. Experimental vaccine that is ready for passing through clinical trials in humans, reprograms the immune system so that it ceases to attack the intestine in response to gluten.
The vaccine NexVax2, created by the American company Immusant Inc., contains the smallest fragment of the protein responsible for the overreaction of the immune system at the time of digestion. But as these fragments are so small, they do not trigger an attack, and gradually accustom the body of the victim celiac gluten. Injections of vaccine are carried out gradually, and the dose of times from time increases, which allows the immune system to get used to different doses of gluten. And the bread again be included in the diet.
