Combining tryptophan -- an amino acid present in high amounts in turkey and other foods -- with probiotics may help people with celiac disease heal and respond better to a gluten-free diet.
McMaster University researchers have established a connection between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and celiac disease.
Up to 40 per cent of global populations have a genetic predisposition to celiac disease, but only one per cent develops the autoimmune condition when exposed to dietary gluten. Elana Verdú’s research focuses on how this could be influenced by gut bacteria.
