I have family members with coeliac disease would I reduce my risk of developing coeliac disease if I had probiotics?

Right now, we don’t know which microbiota have an effect on your chances of getting coeliac disease. However, we and others are actively trying to find the bacteria that have an effect. When we know that, we might be able to give probiotics that help protect you against coeliac disease when you have a high genetic risk and have family members with coeliac disease. To us, that would be the ultimate treatment, prevention is always better than a cure and probiotics is generally considered to be a mild intervention. However, this is unfortunately not possible yet, and may take years to develop.
