Teresa, You obviously got upset by what I said and I'm sorry that you did. The fact is that Prednisone does suppress the immune system and the production of antibodies. In no way was I saying that it was a substitute for going gluten-free. And I know Pred won't cure CD. I wasn't saying that either.

Taking Pred does the exact same thing with celiac as it is with lupus or MG or other autoimmune diseases that produce antibodies. I've known people with MG that have antibodies off of Pred but they disappear while on it. Some more severe cases of MG may have antibodies on it but that is not the case in all people.

I know from your posts that you are highly committed to getting the word out about celiac and I think that is admirable. Perhaps you should write a book on celiac disease, since it is such a great interest of yours.
