    @knitty kittyI have been using them occasionally for the last few months. I noticed that every time I drink them I have slight bloating and gas for the rest of that day. On days that I avoid them, there is no flatulence. Other than these drinks I do not consume any dairy products. So, I think it's obvious the milk in these drinks may be the cause of the unwelcome...

    @glf01my case sounds very similar to yours. I was diagnosed with celiac disease about seven months ago, following blood work and an endoscopy. After that, I have gone strictly gluten-free but have been eating out occasionally at places that have gluten-free offerings on the menu; I have never had an issue after eating out, although I do take Gliadin-X as...

    Is it advisable, recommended, or even safe for celiacs to consume protein enriched drinks and powders such as 'Ensure', 'Boost', etc.? Most of these drinks are labeled "Gluten Free".
  4. LovintheGFlife
    @Oldturdleto be honest, I have recently started eating chocolates and truffles that are labeled "may contain traces of wheat," or "manufactured in a plant that also manufactures products containing wheat". However, I must emphasize that a Gliadin-X capsule is also ingested when indulging in such products. I have yet to experience any adverse reaction so far...

    @Oldturdlethat sounds like my GE too. I have been using Gliadin X when eating out (gluten-free meals of course!) and have found it to be very beneficial. Either the Gliadin is working, or the meals I have eaten out are truly gluten-free, as claimed!

    HI @SammieBoo, Welcome to this forum. I hope your symptoms improve and you find relief soon. I struggled like you for many years with indigestion, bloating, cramps, and constipation. All that improved two months after switching to a gluten-free diet. I am sure your outcome will be similar, if you are confirmed to celiac disease. It's a shame that many...

    @docaz Great article; thank you for sharing!

    I have a follow-up question though: when eating a gluten-free meal in a non-dedicated restaurant, what's the best time to take Gliadin-X? Should I pop the capsule(s) before, after, or during the meal to mitigate any risk of cross-contamination? Advice from users is appreciated. Thank you!

    Here's an update: I visited my GE today and asked him about Gliadin X. He claimed to have never heard of it. However, he advised me to go ahead and give it a try, adding: "if a medication or supplement does not harm you, it can't hurt to try". So, I just ordered my first supply (90 capsules) of Gliadin X on Amazon. Watch this space-will let you know how it...

    Very helpful article for those, like me, who enjoy eating out. I truly hope no restaurant will ever resort to such a short-cut to save time or money. My biggest worry in a restaurant though is having my food cross-contaminated by either traces of wheat flour or tiny bread crumbs in their kitchen.

    @fllstuart77, I really don't know whom to trust. We just have to take their word for it (that they are indeed gluten-free!). The only other option is to avoid eating out altogether! I have eaten some of Mariposa's bakery items and have suffered no issues whatsoever. So, I would certainly recommend them. That being said, every individual's digestive system...

    @Helen Vajk, interesting you mentioned San Francisco. I was vacationing there earlier this month and discovered an awesome bakery located inside the Ferry Building, called "Mariposa". The items on sale were so delightful. I tried the bagels, scones and muffins. All were amazing, although a little high-priced. But for a gluten-free visitor with a terrible...

    @Scoop, same here. If eating out, I make sure the restaurant has at least a few gluten-free items on menu. Furthermore, I talk to the staff in advance and make sure they understand what "celiac disease" or "gluten intolerance" is. Thanks for sharing!
  14. LovintheGFlife
    @Scoopthank you for responding. Think I will give Gliadin X a try after my next visit with the GE. Enjoy your travels and I sure hope you don't get glutened as much!
  15. LovintheGFlife
    Scoop, sounds like quite the adventure! I think as long as peanut butter is on the menu, one will never go hungry. Btw, have you ever tried Gliadin X when eating out? Just curious.
  16. LovintheGFlife
    Trents, thank you for sharing this. I can easily relate to the following lines that you posted. "It is normal that once you start eating gluten free you will become less tolerant of small amounts of gluten. So, unless gluten exposure is happening on a fairly regular basis you may find that over time the eateries you were using that gave you limited exposure...

    Ivana, thank you for the very useful tips on travel. I used to travel all over Europe, Asia and the U.S., but it's mostly domestic now (post-Covid). So, honestly I can manage with gluten-free chips and bagged popcorn. I have not traveled overseas after my diagnosis. Btw, I am underweight (no surprise!!), so I really need to maintain my calorie intake.
  18. LovintheGFlife
    Always Learning, this is such great, helpful and practical advice. I can't thank you enough!!

    Scott Adams, thank you for sharing this. I will ask my GE about GliadinX the next time I see him, in six weeks. Btw, is this enzyme effective in celiacs too? I was under the impression that it is only beneficial for patients with gluten sensitivity/allergy or gluten intolerance. You would know from experience, I suppose.

    Helen Vajk, thank you for the valuable travel tips; much appreciated. I knew about S. America and their preference for quinoa. I always travel with a backpack full of KIND gluten-free bars and other snacks.
  21. LovintheGFlife
    I was diagnosed just over a month ago. My job required a lot of travel, both domestic and international. That was before the Covid pandemic. Thankfully, travel is much less now, but still required. Some folks suggested I change my job, but I love my work (and travel too!). How does a celiac manage when traveling for a week or so away from home? Any tips will...
