Life of a former witch

I've outgrown my wicked witch of the west ways. Reflections of life afterwards, living in the desert with two cats, friends, family, and my hot and cold love life.

yeah for Alba

It was over a year ago that I tried to get into this study to "do my part" for clinical research. Since my biopsy under local was scrubbed, and I wasn't willing to do the six week gluten challenge to get a "general biopsy" result, I didn't qualify for the study.

But the one good thing about trying to get into the study was that the Mayo Clinic lab test showed I was TTG positive instead of just gliadin positive. I almost framed those lab results.

Then about four months later, I tried to look for a new clinical trial for celiac. And even the Mayo Clinic study didn't show up. So I assumed that the study had been pulled for some reason or another.

So I was very pleased that when I checked a few months ago, the study showed up again on clinicaltrials.org

Then I'm very pleased to see that a company in the UK is investing in this drug.

So I'll have to keep tracks on this drugs progress and I'll be one of the geeks in line if this ever makes the market.
