Any Problems With Enzymedica Supplements?

Has anyone else had problems with this supplement? Could I be reacting because I'm just not waiting long enough for it to break down before I eat dairy, or could it be a reaction to the supplement itself?

I've had two lactose-type reactions both times I've used this stuff -- Lactaid works just fine for me.

I've been using Enzymedica's DIGEST GOLD, which seems to be helping me digest things better (based on the quality of my stool.) I don't think I've had any reaction to it, but I'm not positive (I'm pretty newly dx'd, and am still bloated and constipated). I don't eat dairy, though.

good luck.

I take digest gold. At first I thought it gave me a rash on my neck, but now I don't think that was the cause. I think the rash came first.

I stopped using it for a while, but now I'm back on it with no problems. I don't have a problem with lactose, so I don't know about that.

I would trust your body. If it is making you sick then stop using it and return it. My health food store will take supplements back even if they have been used.

I used the Tepnel home gluten test kit on Enzymatica Digest Gold and it recorded a strong positive (greater thatn 10%). I am trying to contact Enzymatica to see what they have to say.

Eroralaeta, did you hear back from Enzymedica regarding their enzymes and gluten content? Are these enzymes safe for celiacs? I started taking Enzymedica V-gest 4 days ago and it looks like I am getting some gluten somewhere. Could it be the enzymes?

      Impossible to get diagnosis?

      By trents · Posted

      Do the skin care products that give you a rash list wheat as an ingredient or are you assuming from your reaction that they contain gluten? It is possible that not only do you have celiac disease, which is not an allergy but an autoimmune disorder, but that you also have a wheat allergy.

      Thank you, I’m very happy to be here!! Yes, lately I get rashes and itching when I accidentally use topical skin products with gluten in them. I got a bad rash around my hairline after unknowingly using glutenous hairspray, and a near-full-body rash with a sea salt spray that I guess I rinsed off insufficiently in the shower. Neither looked like typical dermatitis herpetiformis to me based on the posts I’ve read here—both were just large patches, red and slightly raised, with no blisters to speak of. At least yet. The sea salt spray was used yesterday and I noticed the itching this morning, with the rash forming obviously by this afternoon and evening.

      Thanks so much for your thorough reply! I was able to schedule with the local pediatric gastroenterologist who specializes in celiac but we have to wait 3 months to see her.

      Sorry, meant to type "or dermatitis herpetiformis for short". What? Every time I try it, the abbreviation for this skin condition is converted to the full length term. I'm trying to type "D" followed by "H".

      Welcome to the forum, allis! By "skin response to gluten products" are you saying you develop a rash when you use lotions, creams, shampoos, etc. that contain gluten? One of the classical symptoms of celiac disease is a skin rash known as dermatitis herpetiformis or "dermatitis herpetiformis" for short. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. It has a distinct appearance. It has little blisters or pustules in the bumps. Does this sound like what you experience? Is so, it might be possible to get a punch biopsy done when you are having an outbreak. This would be an alternative to eating gluten. If your skin biopsy was positive for dermatitis herpetiformis you could be diagnosed with celiac disease on that basis alone. Apart from that, I know of no other way to get a diagnosis apart from returning to eating gluten for a period of weeks.
