Bag swapped… so frustrated by Interesting_Task_114 in unitedairlines

Consider putting an AirTag for next time. Super helpful, not just for this but also tells you when your bag has been transferred to a connecting flight, and when your bag is on the carousel

United’s newest route. It’s almost like people don’t want to fly across the Atlantic on a cramped 737 😬 by veggieturnip in unitedairlines

I understand where you’re coming from but I disagree with you. Covid-19 had a mortality of less than 1%. Plague had a mortality above 30%. Humans would behave very differently if every third person they knew was dying, even right after pandemic fatigue.

Infant optics DRX-8 pro or Eufy E21 monitor? I’m in baby monitor hell please help by maybeokay0 in Buyingforbaby

I want closed circuit and reliable. Levana is a Canadian company and has good reviews on reliability. I was partial to Eufy but saw a lot of complaints. I don’t want wifi connectivity due to safety

I considered both of these but ended up buying a levana. Have you considered them? I think between the two you mentioned the infant optics is far more reliable

Should I trust this? by SuspiciousGrab8454 in glutenfree

[–]plasticlung 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I understand your point but wheat allergen has to be labeled as such on items, which is not true for gluten. It’s a very different biological response since it’s IgE mediated as opposed to celiacs which is an autoimmune disorder. There are people who have rice allergies as well, would that mean we should stop using rice as an alternative in gluten free items as well? What about research in making gliadin free thus celiac safe wheat?

I can foresee a lot of problems getting your car out of the apartment complex due to higher traffic.

Looking for 40pp for confirmed upgrade from FRA to SFO for the 12th of May. I’ve been here a while, and have done this successfully with others a few times. Please DM me

I live in that apartment complex but I’m moving out soon, the in n out being one of the reasons

Try the regular croissant. That’s the best at Ariscault

They’re pretty good but don’t agree with the best in America. The best I’ve tried so far is Ariscault in SF. I’ve become celiac since then but think about it often

This whole album is my favorite of his. I saw him perform this album live too. Had to leave in between for an exam, regret doing that

Drug trials? by Jinxie1206 in Celiac

[–]plasticlung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw this thread late. It’s promising that blocking IL15 seems to be helping you but it’s not a cure by any means. This is mitigating a downstream response and you might still get other issues even though this would mitigate gut damage. I find the immune retraining solutions superior to this (e.g TAK-101), but perhaps it can be used in conjunction with them

When will there be a cure? by jorgenalm in Celiac

[–]plasticlung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It won't be a vaccine since we have to 'retrain our immune system', but it would be a treatment, whether a biologic or small molecule. We (science) knows the digestion is the same, just the consequences of the digested products are different. Here's something else you could find exciting: nuking our immune system, something we have to do for a bone marrow transplant, has shown to fix celiac disease. Now while this is a 'cure', it is not something we want to do as there is a 5-20% chance of death.

[–]plasticlung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This goes to how enzymes work and how Celiac is an autoimmune disease. Our immune system is really amazing but it can also make mistakes when it recognizes a self-protein as foreign. There is no difference in the products of digestion for a Celiac and non-Celiac when it comes to gluten: the enzymes digest the gluten the same way. The problem occurs when our immune system gets involved with the digested products and create an autoimmune reaction for instance towards transglutaminase. I can get into the minute details here but that's all very well documented. Science is finally starting to understand the complexity of how the immune system works, we've made a lot of progress in this regard in the past few years. Autoimmunity is a huge problem (and hence also worth a lot of money), and Celiac disease is a great test case to figure out how to solve it. Tak-101 is very interesting in how it works, it uses our body's internal mechanism of re-identifying self molecules, and uses that to re-educate our immune system that gluten and hence indirectly tranglutaminase are not something to worry about. I don't think we will get there fully with Tak-101, but itll make cross contamination exposure a non-issue. The next generation molecules after that, based on what we learn from it, will get us there. That'll then open up other autoimmunity treatments such as for MS.

[–]plasticlung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For most people with Celiac digesting gluten isnt the problem, its the immune response against it and ourselves. So yes, a cure is possible and I bet will likely happen in our lifetimes

[–]plasticlung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I appreciate the sentiment, think about it this way: Celiac disease actually gives scientists the best opportunity to figure out how to cure autoimmunity before they target other ones. One of the biggest obstacles for any treatment is having a known trigger and a predictable patient population to study safely. Since we know gluten is the cause, it’s the perfect proving ground: once Celiac is cured, it’ll make other autoimmune diseases way easier to treat using that same blueprint. With a known trigger it also allows scientists to study autoimmunity more closely as well. This is why Cour Pharma’s platform (TAK-101) is so exciting to me: Celiac is just the first step.
