    How GliadinX Saved My Mom on Thanksgiving

    Celiac.com 12/09/2017 - For those of you who haven't yet heard about GliadinX, it is a dietary supplement with the highest concentration of AN-PEP, Prolyl Endopeptidase (Aspergillus Niger), and, unlike other enzymes, these have been shown in studies to break down gluten in the stomach.

    I've been using them regularly for months, and I tend to take them whenever I eat out, or eat at a friend's house, so basically whenever I don't have control over my food's preparation. Since I began doing this I haven't had any incidents of upset stomach, which are my typical symptoms if I get any cross contamination. However, it is hard to prove a negative...after all, perhaps I haven't had any issues because all of the food I ate was 100% gluten-free...right?

    I will now describe a recent glutening incident that involved none other than my Mother, who visited us this past Thanksgiving. How this could happen in my home, after all I'm the owner of Celiac.com, is an embarrassing but true story which I will share here in the hope that it will help you avoid my errors, and perhaps give you a way to recover should something similar ever happen.

    My brother brought over three pies for Thanksgiving dessert, one was a gluten-free apple pie, and the other two were pumpkin pies: one was gluten-free, but the other was not. What could go wrong, right? My brother's reasoning for bringing a non gluten-free pie into my house was pretty basic: several of the guests were not on a gluten-free diet, so he wanted to offer them what they were used to.

    What you need to know about my Mother is that she's very gluten sensitive. A tiny amount of gluten leaves her wrecked for days. I think you probably know where I'm going here, but basically everyone was busy socializing, eating, or cleaning while dessert was being served, and a friend grabbed a piece of the gluten-containing pumpkin pie (she assumed that if it was in MY house it was gluten-free) and handed it to my Mother. After she swallowed two bites we realized the mistake, but it was too late. My Mother had the look of horror on her face as she realized that the rest of her trip to California was probably ruined.

    I immediately flew into action and gave her several capsules of GliadinX, which she took with lots of water. We carried on with the evening, and I checked in with her over the next couple of hours. Amazingly she didn't have any noticeable symptoms or issues, but she was still certain that they were coming, and that she wouldn't get any sleep and would feel horrible the next day. Remarkably, none of her worries came true. She slept fine, and woke up feeling great. We were both amazed because any past similar incidents always ended badly for her.

    Suffice it to say that my Mother now keeps a bottle of GliadinX with her all the time...just in case!

    12. Treatment of the Extra-Intestinal Manifestations of CD

    ...the only one that is currently on the market is the gluten-specific enzyme, GliadinX (AN-PEP). Unfortunately, it is only capable of detoxifying 0.2 g of gluten or roughly that of 1/8 of a slice of gluten-containing bread. For this reason, it should only be used as an adjunct to the GFD when there are concerns for accidental gluten contamination and in an effort to ameliorate symptoms, not as a replacement for the GFD.

    Scott, I'm glad that it helped your mother.  May I ask if she has celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity?

    There is no currently available test for NCGS, but she has self diagnosed celiac disease, so high antibody readings, but decided not to do the biopsy. She had severe symptoms most of her life, and after I was formally diagnosed she decided to go gluten-free right after the antibody tests, and all of her symptoms vanished for the first time in her life.

    Gluten-Free SweetLeaf® Stevia Sweetener
    SweetLeaf® Stevia Sweetener is an outstanding choice in place of sugar or any other replacement sweetener. For a variety of reasons, it is far superior to other sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, acesulfame K, or neotame.
    It is also gluten-free and doesn't contain calories, carbohydrates, or any artificial ingredients, and yet it tastes exactly like sugar but does not trigger a glycemic response so it is perfect for people with diabetes.
    SweetLeaf® is available in 35- or 70-packet boxes, or in a shaker jar, and they also produce a liquid stevia version which comes in a variety of flavors.

    GliadinX Breaks Down Gluten in the Gut
    GliadinX is a dietary supplement with the highest concentration of AN-PEP, Prolyl Endopeptidase (Aspergillus Niger), the most effective enzyme proven to break down gluten in the stomach. This high potency enzyme formulation is specifically designed to break down gliadin, and unlike other enzyme formulas that claim to do the same, there is a growing body of research that backs up the effectiveness of GliadinX (see Sources below).
    GliadinX does not prevent and is not a cure for celiac disease, however, extensive scientific research has been conducted at multiple medical centers which has shown that it effectively breaks down gliadin into small, harmless fragments before it can reach the small intestine. GliadinX is perfect for celiacs who still want to eat outside of their home, and...

    Ellyndale Naturals Q Cups™ Savory Garlic & Mushroom with Shiitake Mushrooms & Chives
    I tried a Q Cups™ Savory Garlic & Mushroom for lunch yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. Many of the meals in a cup that I've tried are overpowering in flavor, but not Q Cups™.
    The hearty texture and taste came mostly from the quinoa and shiitake mushrooms. There was a mild hint of seasonings that included chives, garlic, celery, thyme, and bay leaves.
    My overall impression was that in just 5 minutes I could have a healthy, gluten-free meal. Q Cups™ are perfect for a quick lunch at the office, or to take on camping trips or planes.
