Has anybody any experience with the enzyme pills that claim to break down the "exorplin peptide" believed to be the part of gluten proteins that our immune systems have trouble with?

I have bought, from the Vitamin Shoppe, a product called Gluten Ease, by Enzymedica. The bottle claims to have DDP-IV Protease. If scientist have isolated the particular protein or polypeptide than it makes sense that they can make an enzyme that breaks it down, like lactase does to lactose.

Search the forum Ray and you will find a lot of info about Glutenese.

Basically it could help to take when eating out and you worry about cross contamination. But you CANNOT take them and then eat gluten. It does not work this way. And if you are Celiac for sure, please do not think this will help you eat gluten foods.

The people in here that use it, use it only if they accidentally get glutened or as a precaution when eating out.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By PlanetJanet · Posted

      After looking at Google images, the spleen is on the upper left abdomen, too!  An organ, part of the lymphatic system for immune function.  A filter.  Wonder how this relates to gluten sensitivity?

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By PlanetJanet · Posted

      Hello, everyone, This upper left side pain is interesting to me.  I have this same pain almost all the time.  Started 2009 when I got diverticulitis for the first time.  Then had left ovarian cyst removed and a diagnosis of endometriosis all over inside.  Been attempting gluten-free since 2018.  It's not perfect, but still have that left sided pain.  Like up under the rib cage.  I believe the pancreas head is on that side, so I often wonder if I have a tumor or something there.  But it could also be an endometriosis adhesion in my belly.  I never got scraped.

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By DMCeliac · Posted

      One of my biggest issues is when a brand chooses to label one item gluten free, but not another. Why is Hunt's diced tomatoes labeled gluten free, but not the paste or sauce? I would have assumed they were all gluten-free, but why label one and not the others? It makes me suspicious.

      Most of these items would be naturally gluten-free, with very little chance of cross contamination, thus they don't typically label them as gluten-free. If wheat is a potential allergen large companies disclose this in the ingredients as "Allergens: wheat."
