Glutenease

Does anyone know anything about GlutenEase? I went to a celiac support group the other night and there was a lady there promoting it like it was a miracle drug. She said that if you took it and then ate gluten that you would not have any reaction to the gluten or any damage to the intestines. I didn't believe her so I tried to find info online and I didnt find any, so I thought I'd ask if anyone knew anything. Thanks for your help!

Here's a recent thread we had on the subject. It has a lot of information.

There are no miracle drugs. Gluten free is the only way to go. I does upset me that people want to profit on someone's illness.

There is no way on earth they would be able to prove that there is no damage without biopsies, doctors, specialists, hospitals and long-term studies. It sounds like this woman is excited because it helped her symptoms and wants to share, but celiac is much more complex than just symptoms. It's well-known that people with celiac can be completely asymptomatic and they only find out their villi are worn away after a biopsy.

There are several of us who are interested in Glutenease to find out if it helps in the case of cross-contamination. I bought a bottle, but I only use it in certain settings.

My kids are gluten-free too and are preschoolers. There is no way I'd use a pill that they're much too young to take only to have them suffer from a glutening that I'm not suffering from because I took a pill. The last time all three of us were glutened, my poor husband just about crawled under the couch to get away from us. :blink: It's pretty bad. The guilt of them going through it and me not would be worse for me than the glutening.

I am, however, planning on taking it with me the next time I go with my husband on a business conference, which I get a chance to do a couple times a year. I'd love to see if it worked POST-glutening. I get such a wide variety of reactions it would be interesting to see which, if any, might be helped by it.

I'm curious to know if you tried the Glutenease and what you thought. Are you still using it. I know this is an old thread, I've been reading about enzymes and trying to decide which are best for me, and I saw this about Glutenease and am very curious about it. Anyone else that has any information, please share. Thanks.

Linda,

There are some fairly recent threads which I've posted in regarding enzymes such as Glutenease and Peptizyde. I posted a list of different enzymes and what they work best for.

Example...Peptizyde is great for non-celiacs (on or off the diet)...but not recommended for Celiacs as a "safety net" for cross-contamination.

Glutenease....is good for non-celiacs (on or off the diet)....and can also be used by Celiacs to help reduce possible cross contamination reactions.

There was alot of enzymes on the list....I'm sure these threads will come up in a search. I'd post links but I'm on a sluggish computer right now.

I'm always interested in how people are doing with enzymes. :)

Rachel, you're such a sweetie...thank you, I did find your very excellent and extensive list. I copied and pasted it into an enzyme folder, and then looked up Glutenease, and was thinking about trying it, since I do not have Celiac but only gluten sensitivity, not to minimize that with an 'only', because I was so sick while eating it. But it would be nice to know I could go out to eat and not worry about CC and maybe even cheat a little.

I was also reading that with malabsorption there is a problem with pancreatic function, did you read that? I found that very interesting and it makes sense too me, because over the last 8-10 years, I've had a lot of problems with hypoglycemia, which means the pancreas is working overtime, pumping out that insulin. My doctor said prediabetic. Anyway, I was on the Enzymedica site all afternoon reading.

Do you know of anyone whose used it and have they done well with it?

Linda

      Rectal pain

      Not long before my celiac dx I was experiencing proctalgia fugax but it seems to have disappeared and I haven't been bothered with it in over 20 years.

      Rectal pain

      Sorry, late to the party. I started experiencing proctalgia fugax (sp), when I was about 16 - I am now 59. This is a very painful spasm of what seems to be the sphincter muscle. This almost always happens in the night and wakes me. For the first few decades this would usually happen around once a month on Sundays. Very weird I know, but it was that...

      Is Ka'Chava Gluten-Free?

      I contacted the company and they explained that the barley ingredient is taken from barley sprouts, not the mature grain head seeds. The sprouts do not contain gluten. Gluten production comes at a later stage in the plant's development. This is science. Some of you who are reacting to this product may be reacting to other ingredients and not gluten or...

      Tapioca Intolerance?

      Celiac, and sensitive to latex, kiwi, avocado, bananas and tapioca. After having a reaction to another Amy’s product (canned chili) which is labeled gluten-free and has no listed tapioca ingredients, I have realized that for those of us who are sensitive to tapioca, it may be even worse than I thought. Not sure if I’ve got this right, but I do know that com...

      Is Ka'Chava Gluten-Free?

      I found this comment section somewhat toxic by a few of the folks. My family has been consuming Ka’chava for the last two years. I am the only one with celiac in our house. I would enjoy a smoothie twice a week, only because every time it would rip apart my guts. I figured it was due to some of the greens, etc in the blend. As various products/supplements w...

      Rectal pain

      By Kmmmn · Posted

      Sorry, late to the party.  I started experiencing proctalgia fugax (sp), when I was about 16 - I am now 59.  This is a very painful spasm of what seems to be the sphincter muscle.  This almost always happens in the night and wakes me. For the first few decades this would usually happen around once a month on Sundays.  Very weird I know, but it was that regular at times you could set your watch by it.    In my 40's symptoms became less frequent.  I found that by essentially shoving an ice pack up my backside I could get some relief. 18 months ago I was diagnosed with Celiac and the PF now occurs pretty much weekly, sometimes more often.  I only just came across this thread so as yet have not mentioned PF to my GI doctor (thought it was just a 'me' thing) but will next time I see him in March.  I feel for you, it is indeed crippling pain.  I am a teacher and I think I have had PF 2 or 3 times in the classroom and have had to call the office for cover until the symptoms and sweating subside.  Good luck.  Hope this helps in some way.

      Celiac, and sensitive to latex, kiwi, avocado, bananas and tapioca. After having a reaction to another Amy’s product (canned chili) which is labeled gluten-free and has no listed tapioca ingredients, I have realized that for those of us who are sensitive to tapioca, it may be even worse than I thought. Not sure if I’ve got this right, but I do know that companies that focus on gluten-free foods use a lot of tapioca. If a certain product doesn’t have any tapioca ingredients, they see no reason to list tapioca or its relatives in the “known allergens” or the “produced in a facility that also uses …..” statement — because it hasn’t been designated a known allergen.  They probably don’t even feel it necessary to apply the kind of Best Practices protocols (extra cleaning) to a production line that may have used tapioca in a previous product. So we may be ingesting tapioca when we are eating something, seemingly tapioca free, produced in a gluten-free dedicated facility. Really discouraging.

      Wholefoods 365 Organic Wheatgrass Powder

      By Katya773 · Posted

      Hi Everyone,   I recently purchased this wheatgrass not realizing that it wasn’t gluten free. I had two servings before I got really sick. Abdominal cramps , diarrhea and horrible nausea. My daughter read the label and told me it wasn’t labeled gluten free. I thought this was safe because supposedly it’s healthy. I called WholeFoods and they told me that they can find out more about the product and email me when it was picked and harvested. I was diagnosed back in 2019 and I really should know better! Anyone else had a reaction to wheatgrass powder?

      Black Pepper Reactions

      By emily 1 · Posted

      Yes, unfortunately I was diagnosed about 15 years ago. Some of us I guess the gut never heals and from what I've learned you can actually have a setback which is probably the stage I am at where I actually have become more sensitive to more items.
