There’s a new buzz in the world of celiac research. Scientists at UC Davis in California are working on gene-editing wheat to remove the parts that trigger an autoimmune response in those of us with celiac disease.
It’s being called “gluten free wheat,” and while that sounds like a dream come true, it’s not that simple.
In this episode, I explain what this research is really about, what it could mean for people with celiac disease, and why this new wheat would still cause problems for anyone with a wheat allergy. We’ll look at both sides — the potential benefits and the reasons to be cautious — so you can understand what’s really happening behind the headlines.
Tune in to learn whether this “gluten free wheat” is the future of gluten free living or just an interesting experiment for now.
