Professor of Pediatrics, Alessio Fasano is a leading researcher of celiac disease in the USA. His team gave a medical presentation last week (NAPSGHAN Scientific Meeting, Salt Lake City, Oct 2007), with the title: “Role of the Innate Immune System in the Pathogenesis of Gluten Sensitivity: Preliminary Results”.
In this paper they clearly show that gluten sensitivity is a real entity. Some of the immunological mechanisms have now been demonstrated. Gluten sensitivity (in contrast to celiac disease) does not involve the loss of intestinal barrier function. This gives unequivocal support to the Gluten Syndrome. Rodney Ford.
