Can I take gliadin x daily?

Is it safe to take gliadin x before every single meal, including my meals at home?  Can I at least take it every day?  I'm having a very hard time figuring out what is glutening me, or if it's a separate GI disorder.  I've been on a celiac diet for over a decade, and I'm baffled as to what's causing my symptoms.  My doctors can't figure it out either so I'm grasping at straws.  The main symptoms of accidental glutening is an immediate feeling of heaviness and fatigue, usually before I finish  the meal.   It feels similar to the beginnings of anesthesia, minus the unconsciousness.  It's a full body response, not just my GI system.

Welcome to the forum, Sunflower89!

I would suspect that you are not getting glutened, not every meal like that. That just doesn't make sense unless you are eating something that is the same for every meal that whose formulation has changed over time and now contains gluten.

But to answer your question, I do not believe it would be harmful to take GliadinX with every meal, at least not for a limited amount of time. It would be expensive, though. If the gliadinX does not solve the issue you might be wise to look in a different direction. Could this be a blood sugar level problem as in hypoglycemia? After we eat a meal, our body directs a lot of blood flow to the stomach and gut for digestion. Does this happen even after a light meal?

Blood sugar is the first thing I thought, too. Could be hyperglycaemia if the body cannot control blood sugar well. What happens if you eat a low carbohydrate, low glycaemic index meal?

It should be safe to take daily, and just to be sure I have included the founder here @docaz to see if he'd like to add to this.

The enzyme has been approved by the European Food Safety Agency as safe for regular human consumption:

They tend to follow the precautionary principle, so if they regard it as safe it probably is.

GliadinX is safe to take every day and even multiple times during the day because GliadinX does not accumulate in the body, It is only effective in the stomach to break down the proline bindings of the gluten proteins. GliadinX does not leave the GI tract and is excreted in the stool. 

Also as Trents wrote it is safe and only costs a little over 50 cents per capsule but if taken very often, it can get expensive.

      Awaiting diagnosis

      I would ask for a total IGA test (aka, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. That test should always be ordered along with the TTG IGA. If someone is IGA deficient, their individual celiac IGA test scores will be artificially low which can result in false negatives. Make sure you are eating generous amounts of gluten leading up to any testing or diagnostic procedure for celiac disease to ensure validity of the results. 10g of gluten daily for a period of at least 2 weeks is what current guidelines are recommending. That's the amount of gluten found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      There was not a total IGA test done, those were the only two ordered. I would say I was consuming a normal amount of gluten, I am not a huge bread or baked goods eater

      Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten in the weeks leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing? And was there a Total IGA test done to test for IGA deficiency?

      Thank you for the reply. It was the TTG IGA that was within normal limits

      Welcome to the forum, @jlp1999! Which IGA test do you refer to as being normal? TTG-IGA? Total IGA? DGP-IGA? Yes, any positive on an IGA or an IGG test can be due to something other than celiac disease and this is especially true of weak positives. Villous atrophy can also be cause by other things besides celiac disease such as some medications, parasitic infections and even some foods (especially dairy from an intolerance to the dairy protein casein). But the likelihood of that being the case is much less than it being caused by celiac disease.
