The most common situation is when shared utensils are not adequately cleaned and in that case one capsule is enough.

If you find out that you have accidentally eaten gluten after the fact then please take GliadinX as soon as possibly and preferably within 30-90 minutes while the food bolus is still in the stomach. In vivo and in vitro studies have shown that GliadinX can break down about 1/8 to 1/3 slices of bread. (A researcher at the University of Chicago says 1/8 and the Dutch team who worked on the product determined that it is about 1/3 slice.) I have purposely maximized the concentration even if it is a little more expensive and also adjusted the acidity to further boost the effect to allow also for accidental consumption of gluten. We all know that it just happens but I emphasize here accidental and not intentional. This is not a hint or encouragement to eat gluten but it means exactly what it says.

Please use the chart on this page to determine the amount of capsules https://www.gliadinx.com/instructions

Beyond that time frame, GliadinX will not help anymore because it is only effective in the stomach together with the naturally occurring stomach enzymes.

Thank you! So very helpful!

In summary, AN-PEP has been shown in published scientific studies to break down anywhere between 1/8 to 1/3 of a slice of wheat bread! If that is not the most amazing development that has come along in the treatment of celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity in the past 25 years, what is? How much cross contamination would you likely get in a restaurant where you might order off a gluten-free menu, or order items you know are naturally gluten-free? What if they cooked your eggs and hash browns on an area where they cooked pancakes, or they cooked a lettuce-wrapped burger on a grill where they toasted wheat buns? What if they pulled the croutons out of a salad they gave you? How much gluten would this be?

Again, I am not encouraging anyone to be unsafe, but am encouraging those who can't eat gluten to be more safe if they can't always be in a situation where they have full control over their food.

This is the paper from clinicians at the University of Chicago Celiac center writing about GliadinX being able to break down "only" 1/8 of a slice of bread (Section 12). As Scott pointed out, that is a huge step forward given that most contamination is a lot less

I just came across this thread. I’m very interested in more information about the AN-PEP and also I’ve seen things about charcoal tablets. Do you have any specific brands of these supplements or precautionary measures that you recommend? I’m so new to celiac disease that I’m literally afraid to eat almost anything from anyplace other than a pre-packaged certified gluten free food item. It’s been a bit overwhelming to say the least. Thank you so much!

When my kids were diagnosed, I must admit that it was quite overwhelming for me also but it for sure gets easier as you learn how to deal with it. It is easier in urban areas where there are more gluten free restaurants but most supermarkets have lots of gluten free options. 

Regarding AN-PEP, you can go on google scholar and enter the terms: aspergillus niger endopeptidase, gluten and you will find a lot.  I am biased towards GliadinX but you can easily look up the concentration of various AN-PEP (tolerase G) containing products and you will find that GliadinX has by far the highest concentration. In addition, the formula is made to lower the pH to further boost the efficacy. This is based on a study that compared the AN-PEP alone and with an acidic carbonated drink. Charcoal is controversial because the pores are very small and therefore, it can not detoxify gluten but some report that it helps with bloating. I am not an expert in that and others might chime in.

This is a paper that I just recently discovered by Dr. Stefano Guandalini who is Professor Emeritus and the founder of the University of Chicago Celiac Center.

Please not on the last page before the references the diagram (the image with the scissors) explaining how AN-PEP (GliadinX) works https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Stefano-Guandalini/publication/356538001_Celiac_Disease/links/61fec72bb44cbe4227256a70/Celiac-Disease.pdf

This product does not work for simple cross-contamination for me.

I don’t intend on doing copious amounts of research trying to justify that enzymes work; I just won’t support or purchase the product.

The fact this product is hyped on this forum so much AND a sponsor is suspect.

I'm not sure of how you used it, but it is true that if you got something with a lot of contamination it may not work unless you increase the number of capsules you take. In restaurant situations, even if I order from a gluten-free menu, I typically take two just before eating. Since I've been doing this I've not had gluten issues when eating out, but each situation is different, and my two capsules may not work if I should encounter something with a lot more hidden gluten in it.

Hi,

I am actually the "suspect" sponsor and I have developed the product for my own children based on the existing data and not based on hype but based on collaboration with the former head of the University of Chicago Celiac Center and the head of the GI department at Leiden University who performed some the original studies in 2006.

If the owner of the site, would not have evaluated the real data, he would not put my product anywhere on his site. 

 

After the disappointing outcome of a vaccine study, research has been focusing on reducing the body's inflammatory response and once again on endopeptidases such as GliadinX or Kumamax by Takeda and Latiglutenase by ImmunogenX (currently studies at the Mayo Clinic). Enzymes have been researched since the early 2000s and have been shown to break down the immunogenic component of gluten but got out of favor because several exopeptidases (not endopeptidases) claimed to break down gluten which in fact they do but they do not digest the immunogenic components and therefore the gluten is not detoxified. 

Here is the most recent double-blind placebo study with GliadinX on celiac volunteers. I am privileged to the data but can not post it until it will be published. I can hint that it is quite convincing and I hope that it will help people to have a safer gluten-free lifestyle and alleviate some of the significant stress associated with it:

I understand that you do not want to go through a copious amount of research (which is unfortunate because it is easily accessible) but for those who are interested here are some pertinent links to publications in peer-reviewed high-quality professional journals:

That’s great pal. It didn’t (and hasn’t) worked for me. YMMV, OK?

All the studies and factoids do not change my individual results.

You haven’t mentioned how you’ve used it, how many capsules you took, etc. More details about that might reveal something that could be helpful to you and others. Can you describe your experience when It didn’t work for you? How much you took, when you took them (hopefully just before eating or with the meal) is helpful info.

      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!

      It's interesting how a single, clear moment—like struggling during a game—can suddenly connect all the dots and reveal the hidden impact of gluten exposure. Your experience with short-term memory fog is a very real and documented symptom for many individuals with gluten sensitivity, often occurring alongside the other issues you mentioned like mood disturbances, sleep disruption, and digestive irregularity. It's a frustrating and often invisible effect that can make you feel unlike yourself, so that moment of clarity, though born from a tough dominoes match, is actually a powerful piece of self-knowledge. Identifying a specific culprit like that steak strip is a huge win, as it arms you with the information needed to avoid similar pitfalls in the future and protect your cognitive clarity. You are definitely not alone in experiencing this particular set of neurological and physical symptoms; it's a strong reminder of gluten's profound impact on the entire body, not just the digestive system. Supplementation may help you as well.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. What you're describing is a very common and frustrating experience when reintroducing gluten after a period of avoidance, and your timeline is perfectly consistent with a non-celiac gluten sensitivity. While a celiac reaction can be more immediate, a sensitivity reaction is often delayed, sometimes taking several days to manifest as your body's inflammatory response builds up; the fact that your symptoms returned a few days after reintroduction is a strong indicator that gluten is indeed the culprit, not a coincidence. Your doctor's advice to reintroduce it was necessary to confirm the diagnosis, as the initial negative celiac test and subsequent improvement on a gluten-free diet pointed strongly towards sensitivity. Many in this community have gone through this exact same process of elimination and challenging, and it's wise to reintroduce gently as you did. Given your clear reaction, the best course of action is likely to resume a strict gluten-free diet, as managing a sensitivity is the primary way to control those debilitating symptoms and allow your body to heal fully.

      Your suspicion is almost certainly correct, and you are wise to be cautious. Draft cider is a very common and often overlooked source of cross-contact because the same tap lines are frequently used for both beer and cider; unless a bar has a dedicated line for gluten-free beverages, which is rare, the cider will run through tubing that has previously contained gluten-containing beer, contaminating your drink. The fact that you didn't react at a clean brewery suggests they may have had more meticulous practices or separate lines, but this is the exception, not the rule. Many in the community have had identical experiences, leading them to strictly avoid draft cider and opt for bottled or canned versions, which are poured directly from their sealed container and bypass the contaminated tap system entirely. Switching to bottles or cans is the safest strategy, and your plan to do so is a smart move to protect your health. PS - here are some articles on the topic:

      Your post really highlights the financial and emotional struggle so many families face. You are not alone in feeling frustrated by the high cost of gluten-free specialty items and the frustrating waste when your daughter can't tolerate them. A great place to start is by focusing on naturally gluten-free whole foods that are often more affordable and less processed, like rice, potatoes, beans, lentils, corn, eggs, and frozen fruits and vegetables—these are nutritional powerhouses that can form the basis of her meals. For the specialty items like bread and pasta, see if your local stores carry smaller, single-serving packages or allow returns if a product causes a reaction, as some companies understand this challenge. Regarding vitamins, that is an excellent next step; please ask her doctor to prescribe a high-quality gluten-free multivitamin, as insurance will often cover prescribed vitamins, making them much more affordable. Finally, connecting with a local celiac support group online can be a treasure trove of location-specific advice for finding the best and most affordable products in your area, saving you both time and money on the trial-and-error process.
