Around 1 percent of the American population is affected by celiac disease. For the ... Most are slow or don't target all of the gluten molecules. ... “The obvious [benefit is that] you don't have to worry about following a gluten-free diet.

Good in theory but I have a feeling they will flop like all of the other enzyme therapies.....like trying to prevent the sticky floor and mess of pouring a glass of juice on the floor by putting down a pile of paper towels...you going to get most of it but some is going to get through some is going to splatter and cause collateral issues......you can not just intercept and try to prevent a reaction to a bloody molecule smaller then a germ, a dang protein, buy trying to eliminate it after it has entered the body......like drinking bleach/antifreeze and trying to puke it all back up....it is in your body your going to get some ill effect maybe not as bad or quick.  

Key is eliminating the gluten before it enters the body, or turning off the bodies response to the protein. THOSE would be what we need, I see more potential in a kind of "gluten vaccine" that might turn off our immune response to gluten. Even is just a temporary measure like say a crispr RNA treatment or a targeted immune suppressant.

I think these doctors might have to experience how even the tiniest CC effects many of us and how before they try coming up with a half baked treatment of dealing with it in the body.

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
