It should. It has been in limited trials for 3 or more years now. Interestingly that article has a different explanation for the mechanism to any I have seen previously (all previous explanations that I saw talked about providing an alternate target for the IgE antibodies).
That 1 in 70 figure looks weird, it comes from the Coeliac Australia website and seems to come from a statement that 30% of the population caries one of the two gene's associated with Coeliac disease and 1 in 30 of them will get the disease. This they calculate to be 330,000 (math looks ok) but then they go on to say 80% currently remain undiagnosed. This smells of someone trying to fudge over a humongous difference between the calculated rate and the reported rate.
Anyone have additional info about this?
