One of the answers to an "ask the experts" question today includes the following:

One interesting study has suggested that strict avoidance of all wheat and gluten products, just as if she had celiac disease, sometimes helps to stave off the ongoing autoimmune antibody attack.

I tried searching for this, but came up empty. Does anyone have the citation?

Thanks!

I'm not sure what article they were talking about, but I found this (about mice):

Thanks for these--I was thinking that it would have to be a human study if they were recommending a gluten-free diet to someone, but maybe not.
