How GliadinX Saved My Mom on Thanksgiving

I bought a bottle of Gliadin X and do the same thing, always take one when I eat out anywhere. So far so good! I would certainly recommend them also!

Hey Scott, you said your mother is highly sensitive/allergic to gluten. Are her reactions to contamination like violent vomiting, unable to move, unable to talk, etc., to the point that she would wind up in the ER,? I unfortunately had that happen to me 3 days before this past Christmas. Again! I ask this as I am so leary of anything that sounds too good to be true. I don't go out to eat anymore because of my truly severe reactions to gluten. Hope your Mom continues to be OK!

Although she would not need to go to the emergency room (what could the ER do for you for gluten ingestion anyway? Just curious.), she would be unable to leave home for a few days, and would be feeling poorly for longer. If you never eat out and always prepare your own food, you probably don't need this (although there is still some risk, even with products marked "gluten-free.")

Interesting to see another product that works. I have been doing the same, taking enzymes whenever I have a meal out to ward off a cross contamination reaction, for close to 10 years. I have posted about it on the forums but people poo poo it. However when I go on vacation with my mom and give her the enzymes every meal and force her to order gluten free by the end of the week a disheveled, tired, confused person becomes sparkly, sharp dressing, and greeted me on the last day of the trip by doing deep knee bends. I used to use Gluten Ease but as I got older I switched to Digest Spectrum. Will have to look at trying this one also.

I am extremely sensitive to gluten. All my medications are guaranteed gluten-free, including OTC's. I recently gave up my beloved sesame seeds! There is never any cross-contamination in our kitchen. For six months I took large amounts of probiotics which were ordered online and cost way too much; they did nothing to help my symptoms. I don't get it; if GliadinX works so well then why can't we take it and eat what we want?!

This isn't a treatment for celiac disease, although it may be far better than nothing in cases where you may get some contamination.

My most severe gluten symptoms don't appear until days later, then I'm really screwed. How do you know if the supplement worked long term?

Might have to take it several times a day...I found it helps alleviate symptoms, last few gluten exposure taking it have preventing the violent vomiting, gut pain, and motor loss.....but I have still had minor D more of really soft  stools, numbness, and other quirks .....it really lessons symptoms in my experience. it is not a cure but does make accidentally glutening less traumatic. It is not a cure, or a miracle pill but it sure seems to help a bit.

I just had the genetic tests for celiac done on the 13th.  I have so many of the symptoms associated with this disorder, that I will be surprised if the test is negative.  The first profile of tests (gliadin, and others were negative, but thats because I stopped eating all gluten.  My gastro doc said it was a mistake to do that, so thats why got the script for the genetic tests.

At 64 this going gluten-free is not an easy undertaking, to say the least, but I lost 20 lbs in a three month period, and I wasn't trying to lose weight.  Even if the test comes back negative, I will never consume gluten again, it makes me feel that bad.

Now that my youngest daughter is on a GFD, she no longer has symptoms, but my oldest still has extreme sensitivity while on a GFD. I always wonder if my younger could be getting gluten and not know it. Although GliadinX helps the symptoms of eating gluten (and that is a daily issue for celiac disease patients), how does it handle the damage gluten does to the intestines?

Well it breaks done some of the gluten in the stomach before reaching the small intestines. It does not destroy all of it , is it depends on how much is eaten, stomach acidity, when the enzyme is taken, and the time it takes for your stomach to dump to the intestines.
Basically it will not prevent all damage, it will help reduce it by reducing gluten content. The response and amount depends on the individuals immune system and above circumstances. This is more like a safety pill if you get some CC not for straight eating gluten.
Best bet is a GFD and a gluten free household, whole foods, certified foods, and no eating out. But keep the glidenX for those odd random acts of life that lead to being CCed. It has helped with CCed gluten free labeled food that Nima found gluten in after I started feeling it, those times produce gets a flour dusting from the open air bakery (absurd but has happened) etc.
