The Claim
Co-fermentation of lactic acid bacteria and yeast in wheat dough reduces the abundance of 127 out of 128 identified celiac disease-related proteins by more than 50%, with the most affected being low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (33.07%), α-/β-gliadin (21.26%), and γ-gliadin (25.98%).
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Fermenting wheat dough with lactic acid bacteria and yeast reduces the levels of 127 out of 128 proteins linked to celiac disease by more than half, with the greatest reductions in low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits, α-/β-gliadin, and γ-gliadin.

Co-fermentation of lactic acid bacteria and yeast in wheat dough reduces the abundance of 127 out of 128 identified celiac disease-related proteins by more than 50%, with the most affected being low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (33.07%), α-/β-gliadin (21.26%), and γ-gliadin (25.98%).
Bacteria and yeast in the dough release enzymes that break down gluten proteins into smaller pieces, destroying the parts that trigger immune reactions in people with celiac disease.
What the research says
1 studyWhen wheat dough is fermented with special bacteria and yeast, most of the gluten proteins that cause problems for people with celiac disease drop by more than half—exactly what the claim says. The study proved this happens and still made tasty bread.
