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.

 

Scott Adams Grand Master

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.

      Thats the thing, diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated celiac by biopsy colonoscopy at Kaiser in Santa Clara  now condo's but it has to be somewhere in medical land.1999 got married, moved, changed doctor's was with former for 25 years told him I waz celiac and that.Fast forward to last year.i googled celiac specialist and what popped up was a former well known heard of hospital. I thought I would get answers to be put through unnecessary colonoscopy KNOWING im glutenfree and she wasn't listening to me for help rather than screening me for celiac! Im already diagnosed seeking medical help.I did all the appointments ask from her and when I wanted my records se t to my pcp, thats when the with holding my records when I repeatedly messaged, it was down played the seriousness and I was labeled unruly when I asked why am I going through all this when its the celiac name that IS what my issue and All my ailments surrounding it related. I am dea6eoth the autoimmune part though my blood work is supposedly fabulous. Im sibo positive,HLA-DQ2 positive, dealing with skin, eye and now ms.I was employed as a bus driver making good money, I loved it for the few years my body let me do until I was yet again fired.i went to seek medical help because my body isn't well just to be made a disability chaser. Im exhausted,glutenfree, no lawyer will help and disability is in limbo thanks to the lax on my health from the fabulous none celiac Google bay area dr snd team. Its not right.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @EssexMum! First, let me correct some misinformation you have been given. Except in the case of what is known as "refractory" celiac disease, which is very rare, it is not true that the "fingers" will not grow back once a consistently gluten free diet is adopted. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition whereby the ingestion of gluten triggers an inflammatory process that damages the millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the lining of the small bowel. We call this the "villous lining". Over time, continued ingestion of gluten on a regular basis results in the wearing down of these fingers which greatly reduces the surface area of this very important membrane. It is where essentially all the nutrition from what we eat is absorbed. So, losing this surface area results in inefficiency in nutrient absorption and often to medical problems related to nutrient deficiencies. Again, if a gluten-free diet is consistently observed, the villous lining of the small bowel should rebound. "We was informed that her body absorbs the gluten rather then rejecting it and that is why she doesn't react to the gluten straight away, it will be a build up and then the pains start. " That sounds like unscientific BS to me. But it does sound like your stepdaughter may have a type of celiac disease we know as "silent" celiac disease, meaning, she is asymptomatic or at least the symptoms are not intense enough to usually notice. She is not completely asymptomatic, however, because you stated was experiencing tummy aches off and on. Cristiana gives some good suggestions about ordering "safe" food for your stepdaughter from restaurant menus in Europe. You must realize that as the step parent who only has her part of the time you have no real control over how cooperative her other set of parents are with regard to your stepdaughter's needs to eat gluten free. It sounds like they don't really understand the seriousness of the matter. This is very common in family settings where other members are ignorant about celiac disease and the damage it can do to body systems. So, they don't take it seriously. The best you can do is make suggestions. Perhaps print out some info about celiac disease from the Internet to send them. Being inconsistent with the gluten free diet keeps the inflammation smoldering and delays or inhibits healing of the villous lining.

      Good evening @EssexMum You are quite right to be concerned about this situation.  Once diagnosed as coeliac, always a coeliac, and the way to heal  is through adopting and sticking to a strict gluten diet. That said... I have travelled twice to France since my diagnosis, firstly in May 2013 and again in August 2019.   My spoken French isn't bad, and whilst there I tried my best to explain my needs to chefs and catering staff, and I read labels very carefully when shopping in supermarkets, but both times I came away with worsening gastric symptoms and pain. Interestingly,  after the second holiday, my annual coeliac review took place the following month and although I'd been very careful to avoid gluten all year, thanks to that August holiday my coeliac antibodies were elevated,  Clearly I hadn't been imagining these symptoms and they must have been caused by gluten sneaking in somehow. When I spoke to my gastroenterologist on my return, who is an excellent doctor, he told me with a smile that this was a very common experience in France among his patients, and not to worry too much about it! In fact, before we went away in May 2013, which was just after I had been formally diagnosed, he told me not to even bother trying to adopt a gluten free diet until I returned, knowing what France was like, but I was feeling so awful at that time I ignored his advice and at least tried to make a start with it. (I ought to say - both these visits were some time ago, so perhaps things are a lot better there now.) So what to do?  I would say at least try to explain to catering staff the situation - they should be able to rustle up a plate of cheese, boiled eggs, tuna, salad and fruit, and if things like crackers and gluten-free pot noodle or oats can be packed in the UK, those can be produced at mealtimes.    Of course, most larger supermarkets in France do now cater for coeliacs, but when I was last there the the choice wasn't as wide a range as we have in the UK but I think that is partly because the French like to cook from scratch, whereas our gluten-free aisles have quite a lot of dried or pre-baked goods in them/convenience foods, because I think we as a nation tend to use them more. I would be worth doing a bit of research on the internet before the trip, - the words you want are 'sans gluten'.  I've just googled 'sans gluten Disney Paris" and this came up.  I do hope at least some of this is of help. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurants-g2079053-zfz10992-Disneyland_Paris_Ile_de_France.html  Whatever befalls in France, at least your stepdaughter can resume her usual diet on her return. On a related tack, would you be happy to post any positive findings/tips upon her return - it might be of use to others travelling to Disneyland Paris with children in future? Cristiana
